🎙️ Farewell Episode: Closing the Logbook on TSP – The Scuttlebutt Podcast

After 4½ unforgettable years, countless stories, and a National Podcasting Award, we gather one last time for the final episode of TSP – The Scuttlebutt Podcast. It's fitting that this farewell lands on December 7th — Pearl Harbor Day — a day of remembrance, reflection, and honor for all who served.

In this emotional and honest closing chapter, Richard and Andrew look back on the journey that started as a simple conversation and grew into a platform heard around the world. We revisit the moments that shaped us, the veterans and families who trusted us with their stories, and the mission that evolved far beyond the microphone.

This episode also shares what comes next:
• Richard launching Tomorrow Needs You – A Minutes Wisely Podcast in January
• Andrew pursuing his own projects, including Tun Tavern and the Sandman and Pyle Podcast
• And the acknowledgment that we are heading in separate directions and will no longer be working together

But the legacy remains. The impact remains. The purpose remains.
TSP may be ending, but the mission continues.

Thank you for the laughs, the tears, the stories, and the support.
Thank you for standing with us.
And thank you for 4½ years we’ll never forget.

This isn’t goodbye. It’s “See you in the next chapter.”
