    Going On Hiatus
    Apr 17 2024

    I'm going on hiatus for a few months. In Ep#61.5 I'm talking about why it's just a bit too hard to maintain motivation/time to produce these episodes whilst travelling Brazil.

    Huge thanks to everyone who supported this show over this last season, I really do appreciate it.
