You might have wondered, "Why hasn't the Male Cartel been posting new episodes as frequently as they used to?" "Is the podcast going away? Is it dead?" In full transparency, the podcast has not been a top priority over the past couple of months. Our co-host, Shane Padgett experienced a personal tragedy and loss. In this episode, you will hear the full details on what happened to Shane Padgett. Despite the difficulty of this situation, there is hope and you will get to hear that first-hand in this episode. There is no reason this episode should have been able to be recorded at this current moment, but God is still at work, even in the suffering and hardships.
