We’d like to thank you, listeners, for your continued support and engagement with our podcasts. For more than six years, we have endeavored to bring you enlightening and entertaining conversations with some of the brightest lights in literature. After a good deal of deliberation, the KR team has decided to take a six-month hiatus from our podcast offerings in an effort to better address these changed and changing times. It is our hope that the podcast will return in 2021 refreshed and revitalized. In the meantime, please stay in touch via our newsletter, follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook, or, as our good friend Natalie Shapero once said, “Just float down the Kokosing and look up!” We’ll see you again in 2021.
