  Episode 135 - The End

  Sep 28, 20262 minS1

  Hey All, So I’ve largely been putting this announcement off for some time now because I wasn’t quite sure how to do it, or what exactly to say. Which creates its own weird little endless loop of a problem when the best thing to do, is honestly, pull the band-aid off and go. I’ve decided to put the podcast on an indeterminate hiatus. There are a lot of factors that led to this moment, and in some part I will discuss them under my actual non-podcast account, but the short and long of it is that I myself am unsure of where to go or what I actually want to try and do. There really isn’t any single one thing that lead to this decision, but the hard decision had to be made and I feel that this is whats best for right now. To everyone that listened, thank you. To everyone that was a guest, I appreciate you and you have my eternal gratitude. There may be a few other things to come that I had always wanted to do and never had the time to do, and hey maybe this isn’t goodbye and it’s just an extended till next time. Until then though, take care of yourselves and do the things you love. Link
