The stress of, well, the whole last year got to us and we didn't want to admit it. So now we are. BUT that doesn't mean this is goodbye, and it doesn't mean we aren't working on the show!

We decided to stop forcing ourselves to try to catch up and instead we are already working on and getting ready to record episodes for May. With this change of tactic Jonathan will be able to come back to doing topics as well instead of just producing, and we will forever have a few months in the bag in case any other worldwide catastrophes occur!

We are excited to come back better than ever, and thanks for being great listeners. See you in May!

Topic: Henry Sinclair,  Edward Doheny, and one of the most scandalous presidents, Warren G. Harding's involvement in the Teapot Dome Oil Reserve Scandal.
