The Chatty Mammoth brightens up my inbox each morning and is a great way to start the day.

Antonia Bullard

It's always an interesting surprise to see what the Chatty Mammoth has to recommend: from books to UFOs, history to science, there is never a dull day.

The Chatty Mammoth is a great way to start my morning inspired. Quick, interesting facts and headlines brought to my inbox each day really make it easy to broaden my perspectives and have those pieces of knowledge ready to spice up my conversations.

Mia May

I check my emails and the news in bed every morning with tea and love the angles the Chatty mammoth takes. The stories are genuinely interesting, not click-bait, but heart-warming and intriguing. I often find by the time I get to work, I can't help but log back on with my morning coffee and click on the articles out of sheer curiosity. A really lovely way to mix up the content I ingest - a refresher from the straight news every day.

Dan Murphy

People underestimate how valuable you become when you are able to talk about something interesting that is different from work and gossip. Its been too much fun seeing people react to these topics when you bring them up.

Nothing better than drinking my morning coffee and getting a break from my emails. Best bit is, I'm yet to read something I already knew.

Rose

I've been receiving the Chatty Mammoth emails for a few months now, and although I don't read each and every article, there are always a few each week that really interest me, and I enjoy reading. Such a great, varied selection of interesting articles, great to keep me awake on a quiet nightshift, or occupy me when I'm home alone.

I read the Economist.  I read The Week and The Conversation and a range of daily paper from the USA, UK and Australia and glance at a few European papers.  Despite, or perhaps because of this, I have a sense of anticipation each day on opening my chatty mammoth email.

They give a view into an extraordinary wealth of online thought that doesn’t appear in mainstream media and doesn’t align itself politically to any particular creed.  A conservative piece in one mail will find it’s opposite in the next but most subjects are irrelevant politically speaking.  Such a relief.

[Providing] the pleasure of knowledge.

Time is money

Whilst we all appreciate the virtues of reading, we are equally as familiar with reading’s omnipresent ‘time-vampires’: the hours wasted either trying to find an interesting read or churning through the irrelevant fluff that is used to bulk out an essay.

As a result, we created our ‘money-saving gimmick’ to calculate how much time – and thus money – you could be saving by reading our summarised content.
