What is The Rundown?
The Rundown is a free daily email delivering current, relevant, fun information in 60 seconds or less. We'll fill you in on where best to spend your free time, from going out (food/drink, events, entertainment, sports, travel) to staying in (style, gear, home). For more info, see About Us.
So how do I sign up?
Click here and enter your email address. You'll get one email a day that succinctly provides all you need to know about one key place, event, website, or product. The email will also include water cooler fodder -- a news item or a video that'll add mightily to your office street cred.
How do I change my profile information?
Click here to go to My Rundown, where you can update your profile.
How do I send in an idea for The Rundown?
Click here or on Contact Us to send your suggestions. We review every submission, and if it blows our collective mind, we may even write about it.
Can I pay to get my product or venue featured?
Not a chance. We draw an impenetrable line between editorial and advertising. We cannot be bought (even with Super Bowl tickets), and we don't give extra love to advertisers. We just use our network of culture spies to scope out and spotlight great stuff that we think will make your life better.
So how do you guys make money?
Bake sales, mainly. And by selling advertising - the banners and text links that accompany each article, plus "Sponsored Rundown" emails. For more about those, see our Editorial Policy.
Will you sell my email address or other information?
Absolutely not. For more information, see our Privacy Policy.
I signed up but I haven't gotten any emails yet. What's up?
Welcome to the wild wild web. The Rundown emails may sometimes get blocked or marked as Junk Mail or SPAM by your email service. To make sure you receive The Rundown every day, add The Rundown to your safe sender list. For more information, click here.
My Rundown emails look a little wonky. What's up?
Many email service providers automatically block images. Check your email account preferences or settings and adjust them to "unblock" images. For more information, click here.
Can I change the address where my Rundown emails are sent?
Sure. You can make any account changes you want at My Rundown.
How do I unsubscribe?
If you decide The Rundown isn't for you, unsubscribe at any time by clicking on Unsubscribe. Nice knowing you.
How would I go about advertising on The Rundown?
Click here to contact us, and a sales representative will get back to you with the details.
If I advertise on The Rundown, am I still eligible to be featured in an article?
Yes, but not because you're advertising with us -- only if our editorial staff decides to cover you on their own. Our advertising and editorial are as separate and distinct as Lakers fans and Clippers fans. They may share a roof, but they don't mix. For more info click here.

  • Contact tech support and let them know what's up. They should be able to put rundown.com and/or the following IP address on a "safe list": 66.34.220.112
  • Look for a "Safe List" in the your email program's settings section, and add "rundown.com" (no quotes). If you have to enter a complete address, use "today@rundown.com" (no quotes). If your system requires senders to be in your address book to avoid being diverted into "junk," "bulk," or "spam," add "today@rundown.com" (no quotes) to your address book.
  • Sign up under another email account like the ones covered above. That'll stick it to the Man!
