POPULARITY
It's finally here. Sorry for the wait. But here it is: the final episode of Thought Cops. Thank all of you who have listened to us and supported us throughout the years. Field Notes I don't want to belabor it, because the episode speaks for itself. But we're grateful for the connections we've been able to make throughout the years, and we're proud of everything we've been able to do with this show. It lasted for almost a decade of our lives, and we've grown a lot as a result of it. Being able to do Thought Cops has been a dream come true in so many different ways, but we don't want it to be a forever goodbye as much as we want to be able to grow even more out of it. So make sure to follow us everywhere on all different platforms to see what's next! Thanks for listening. See you, Space Cop.
