Hoover Institution Launches Freedom Frequency on Substack to Bring Trusted Insights to Millions on New Platform

Hoover Institution (Stanford, CA) - The Hoover Institution is proud to announce The Freedom Frequency is now live on Substack, where readers will find leading Hoover scholars offering in-depth insights and solutions to America's most pressing challenges.

The Freedom Frequency is more than just a digital publication, it is a top-of-funnel gateway into Hoover's intellectual ecosystem, where public policy, academic rigor, and actionable insight meet.

Designed to be discoverable, shareable, and community-driven, the platform will feature deeply insightful and clear-written essays, videos providing thoughtful perspectives on current events, and premium content from our flagship podcasts.

As traditional media fragments and digital gatekeepers shift, Substack offers Hoover a direct line to its readers, complete ownership of its subscriber base, and a vibrant ecosystem of highly engaged, idea-hungry users.

With more than 35 million readers on the plat­form, Substack has become the go-to destination for serious, long-form thought leadership, and The Freedom Frequency will be Hoover's definitive voice in that space alongside today's most influ­ential voices in long-form policy journalism and idea-driven storytelling.

"I think of this project as a sort of signal, one rooted in liberty, democracy and the rule of law - timeless values tested across the centuries, but urgently relevant right now," Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice said of the publication.

Content on The Freedom Frequency will show prominent Hoover scholars tackling the toughest challenges America faces today.

Early pieces coming to the platform include Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson, writing about the dismantling global order led by America and what may replace it. Research Director and Senior Fellow Steven J. Davis will contribute about the impact of US tariffs on global trade. And Distinguished Visiting Fellow Matthew Pottinger will give his assessment on the early foreign policy priorities of the second Trump administration.
