Hello out there to all our loyal listeners! Jay and I just wanted to take a moment to make you aware of some programming changes. Effective Immediately, we are only going to be recording and posting 1 topic based show a month, instead of our normal biweekly schedule. This is to make room for our new LIVE show that is in the works, called "Hose Jockeys After Hours". The format of the show is going to be a non-researched, round table format, where we will instead of discussing a specific topic, we will talk about whatever comes to mind, where we hope to be guided by listener suggestions. Show production will also be temporarily suspended due to a move that I am going through. We will have a discord channel up for listeners to interact with us.
