In this bonus episode I give an update on what is in the works with Stretchgoose podcast network.

In his last episode of the Stretch Goose Podcast, host Manuel reveals his plans for a big change. After running the Stretch Goose Podcast for 133 episodes, he announces his decision to retire the podcast and start a new one called "This Podcast Sucks". He shares his journey, from his struggles with delivering the news commentary, grappling with the saturation of the podcast industry, to finally finding a niche he is passionate about- reviewing other podcasts.

"This Podcast Sucks" will feature a deep dive into other podcasts- from widely known podcasters to indie creators, offering honest feedback, and highlighting the good and bad. Manuel plans to release an episode every week, giving him time to research the podcast and hosts he will discuss. The new show aims to uplift the indie creators, offer constructive criticism, and above all, offer a fresh form of entertainment.

For all the Stretch Goose Podcast fans, all 133 episodes will remain available for everyone to enjoy. It might be the end of an era, but this also marks the beginning of a new and exciting one with "This Podcast Sucks." Stay tuned!
