Happy 2025, Shandies!!! We're excited to be reunited with you! In keeping with tradition, we're kicking off this new year with something special. That's right... we're back with volume 5 of our very special biannual UPDATES! When listening to our caller episodes and Q&As, if you find yourself wondering "where are they now?", today is all about filling in those blanks!

We called out for updates from our question-asking Shandies and many were kind enough to provide their subsequent chapters, the good and the bad! Come join us in the living room where we're on the edge of our seats!
