I wanted to record this episode to explain what has been going on with me this past year, why the show has not only been delayed but is coming to an end... and what is going to take its place. After what has probably been the worst year of my life, I've decided to make changes. I'm sorry this episode isn't funny and lighthearted. I just needed to let you all know what's going on, and this is the best way I know how. Thank you for listening and subscribing, and I hope you continue on the upcoming journey with me. -Travis Wright
