Split the Difference

It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to hang up the microphone, for now. Because of the amount of time it takes to produce the podcast multiple times a week, I don't have the time to consistently produce content at the level and quality that I want, and that I know my listeners want as well.  Thank you to everyone that has supported and encouraged me through this, I will miss it dearly!
