This week’s end music is Justice Doesn’t Always Wear a Badge by Jeff Kurtenacker from Wildstar.

This week, Carla, Seamus, and Drew say their goodbyes to the wonderful community that brought them so much joy throughout their time here. Find out what each of them will be doing next, and stay for the end for bloopers from many episodes!

Much love to all of our listeners. We did this for you, and we would do it again. Hope to see y’all again soon!
