Welcome to Season 5: The Ampersand, Read Aloud

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Season 5 of The Ampersand Unplugged. This season, we’re doing something a little different. While Kiara Tyler—the creative force behind our first four seasons—is away on maternity leave, Adam Pekarsky will be bringing you audio readings of our monthly Ampersand blog posts.For 17 years, The Ampersand has landed in inboxes as a written reflection on work, leadership, community, and the everyday questions that shape our professional lives. Season 5 translates those essays from page to sound—no interviews, no hot takes, just the original pieces read aloud, designed to keep you company during the in-between moments of your day.Whether you’ve been a longtime reader or you’re discovering The Ampersand for the first time, we’re glad you’re here. Think of these as quiet, thoughtful audio companions — something to listen to while walking the dog, sitting in traffic, or staring out an airplane window. Thanks for reading, thanks for listening, and welcome to a new season!Want to stay connected with us? Follow us on our LinkedIn!
