General Queeries

Heya folks! Bit of a sad one today with a couple announcements. Firstly, we’re very sorry to announce that we will be taking an extended break. Unfortunately, university takes a lot of time and so does this podcast, and we don’t want our quality to drop. We will be back, but a break is needed. Secondly, sadly Megan will not be joining us when we return. Megan’s recently found full-time work and sometimes you gotta prioritise. I would recommend listening to the episode for a better explanation so you can hear from Megan herself, but we hope you will be understanding of the break and why we’re taking it. Thank you all so much for your consistent support for this podcast. We honestly never expected be break the 1000 listeners a week mark, so this is incredible. I just hope you will all be around when we return. Love you all-JonathanSubscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on SOCIAL MEDIA.
