For the fifth time, The Faux Pod brings all of you loyal Faux Podders a very special treat in Minisode 5! I asked all of the guests who were on the last ten episodes (episodes 41-50) for a little reflection on their time on the show. While not everyone was able to send something in, those who did are now once again sharing their thoughts and feelings with you all (in order of episode appearance)! As we approach Episode 51, the next 10 episodes, and even the next 50 episodes, I need to thank all of you listeners and guests for your continued support. It is truly humbling and my highest honor to provide content that even one person likes listening to, so thank you. Here's to the next group of guests!
