Pretty in Person Glossary + FAQ
Glossary:
Weekly Thought Piece
A mix of cultural observations, self-analysis, gossip, and whatever thought I’m thinking.
Drops Every Wednesday
Weekly Voice Notes
Like getting a random text from a friend who has absolutely nothing and everything to say. Doubles as a mini pod.
Mid-walk thoughts, rants when I’m pissed, lonesome airport layover monologues, and general nonsense.
Drops once a week at random in real time. No edits.
Podcast
Will resume regularly in December 2025 once Billy and I have officially moved to Hawaii !!!
Random Video Dispatch
A video diary of mostly me and Billy being weird. Probably us playing beer pong. That’s it. That’s the pitch.
Happens randomly.

Subscription & Access
Q: How do I subscribe?
Click “Subscribe”, enter your email, and you’re in. That’s it. Welcome aboard.
Q: Is there a free version?
Yep! Free subscribers get access to select posts, previews, and live video moments. But if you want the full experience (aka, the good stuff), consider upgrading.
Q: How do I upgrade to a paid subscription?
Click “Subscribe” (or “Upgrade” if you’re already a free subscriber), select the paid option, and follow the prompts. VIP status unlocked.
Q: How do I downgrade to free?
If you need to switch back to free, go to Settings in your Substack account, find your subscription, and click “Manage” → “Cancel” or “Downgrade.” You’ll still have access to paid posts until the end of your billing cycle. I’ll miss you, but I get it.
Q: Can I gift a subscription?
Yes! Substack has a “Gift a Subscription” option, perfect for forcing good taste onto your friends.
Q: Can I cancel anytime?
Yep. But don’t.
Podcast & Listening
Q: Can I listen to your podcast in my podcast app?
Yes! If you're a paid subscriber, you can add the private podcast feed to your favorite app. Go to Substack → Settings → Podcast Feed, copy the link, and paste it into your app.
Or just click “Listen in podcast app” under the podcast widget in your email or on my Substack page. Once it’s set up, new episodes will show up automatically.
Since this is a private feed, you won’t find Pretty in Person by searching in your podcast app. It has to be connected through Substack since it’s exclusive to paying subscribers.
Interacting & Feedback
Q: Can I submit a question for the podcast?
Yes! Ask us literally anything. We’ll pick a few submissions each week for the podcast. It’s 100% anonymous, so go off, say what’s on your mind. Submit your question here or email dearprettyinperson@gmail.com.
Q: Can I send anonymous feedback?
Yes! Leave anonymous feedback → here
Technical Stuff
Q: How do I update my payment info or manage my subscription?
Go to your profile in Substack, click Settings, and scroll down to manage your subscription details.
Q: I signed up, but I’m not getting emails—help!
Check your spam folder. If it’s not there, mark my emails as “Not Spam” and add my Substack email to your contacts. If that doesn’t work, Substack Support (support@substackinc.com) is your best bet.
Q: What if I’m having technical issues with payments or access?
Same as above—contact Substack Support at support@substackinc.com. They are the true wizards behind the scenes.
