Thank you all, it's been an incredible 5 years but the time has come.Please update your Patreon subscriptions if you are one because we don't plan on publishing anything on there going forward. Once we are past the billing cycle, I will probably make this whole archive free to access but I can't currently change any pricing. I may also upload all the Patreon exclusive podcasts on the main feed at some point if I can't do it this way.
