When an aging sea vessel has hoisted its final cargo, and sailed its last voyage, tradition states that a captain may read a final piece of prose before setting the ship ablaze, and letting it sink into an inky black resting place among the waves. When moving on from a podcast studio, it's tradition for the Statesmen boys to do the same:

"So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night. I hate to go and leave this pretty sight. Microphones, bad jokes and groans, but some things seem darkest just before the light."

This week we say goodbye to the Stu-Stu-Studio and look forward to our future of podcasting somewhere else, deep into the mystic.
