One email a day, five must read tech news stories, just $5 a month.

The Sizzle is curated by Anthony “@decryption” Agius, who has been hanging around the tech scene in Australia like a bad smell for over a decade. He started MacTalk (RIP), One More Thing and Reckoner. He’s contributed to Delimiter, SMH/The Age, Macworld Australia, PC & Tech Authority and Media Connect/ITJourno. Reckoner won the 2014 Optus IT Journalism award for best independent media. You may also remember him as the guy who went to New York to buy some iPads, or who set up a cryptocurrency mining farm in a shed, but most likely, heard that he scored a bunch of frequent flyer points off a bank.

Do I need to supply a credit card for the free trial?
You can sign up for a free two week trial without any payment info. Just submit your email address above and you’ll get the next email at around 5PM.

Will I be automatically charged money when I sign up?
After the free first fortnight, you’ll get an email desperately begging for you to continue the subscription. If you like The Sizzle, you can click the link in the request email and you’ll be taken to a payment form that will automatically charge your card AU$5/month or $50/year.

I want to skip the trial and pay you now!
Brilliant – use the paid subscription form and we can start a long and beautiful relationship.

Is there an email on weekends/public holidays?
No emails on weekends and Victorian public holidays.

Can I share the email with friends?
There’s nothing stopping you forwarding the email to your mates. It’d be nice if they paid too though. This is my primary source of income.

How do I modify my subscription?
For those on the free trial, just click the unsubscribe link in any of the emails you’ve received from The Sizzle. For paid subscribers, visit the subscriber portal. If you’re stuck, get in touch.
