Hey users, we wanted to provide an update on Jirard’s involvement with the podcast. The four of us met to talk about the ongoing situation, and during that conversation, Jirard offered to step down from the podcast. As a team, we agreed that that would be for the best. (1/2)
We want to thank Jirard for his contributions to the podcast and we really do wish him well for the future. We won’t be commenting any further on the situation going forward.
The podcast will continue with our holiday episode and into 2024 with Ralph, Jake, and Lucy. (2/2)
