That Wasn't Even Our Final Form15 sept. 202400:16:56

Ian and I took nine months off from podcasting, but rest quite assured: it wasn't in order for him to gestate and pass our baby. 

In this bonus episode, I'll explain the actual reason for our absence and our plan for a new era of Tech's Message, which begins on this very day -- look out for episode 323 in your feed shortly!

We're really grateful to everyone who's kept our feed in their podcatchers and stuck with their Patreon membership until we were ready to return. We've got some cool plans for the show and we'll welcome your feedback.

Onwards!

Nate & Ian

Back From The Not-Actually-Dead: TM 313 Short Version16 oct. 202300:30:30

Honestly, you take one several-month hiatus without really communicating why, your website expires and emails stop being delivered, and all of a sudden people thing the podcast has died. 

We joke about things because it's easier than taking responsibility for them. But we are still a living, breathing podcast; Ian hasn't angered himself into an early grave, nor has Nate got bored of podcasting now he has a TV show.

Thanks for sticking with us, and sorry again for the silence. We're back though and very glad to be!

Show notes will follow once the website has been migrated to a new server. Basically, paying Squarespace close to £150 a year just to host some text felt overkill.
