Almost a Joke

Special 12... may be the last special if we don't hear from YOU, the listener.

We've done this show for over 4 years now, and we'd really appreciate anything you can do to spread the word. Frankly, we haven't heard from any of you in a while, and if we don't hear from you somehow, whether it be through our Facebook page, Our Twitter, or leaving a review on iTunes store (the last one was removed mysteriously), this may be the last episode. Please, if you want to see this show continue, make your voice heard & tell us what you'd like to hear more of! Otherwise, we'll pursue other projects.

warm regards,

Andrew
