Our friend and cast-mate, Steve MacDonald, has encountered a family tragedy. As a family of sorts ourselves, we've all decided to not record or release new episodes during the month of June 2021 in an act of solidarity. When one of us is hurting, we're all hurting.

We want to give Steve and his family time to mourn and heal.

Thank you all so much in advance for understanding. Your prayers and well-wishes are warmly invited during this incredibly tough time. We'll be back in July, but until then, keep the MacDonald family in your thoughts and prayers.
