Announcement: Update on Season 5 Holiday Break

Hey everyone! I just wanted to update you all on where we are at with the podcast!

Before I share anything, let me be super clear: Quinn and I will absolutely be finishing Season 5, and continuing the show, as soon as possible. None of that is in danger, as its something we are both still passionate about.

Prior to the holiday break, I made an announcement that we were putting the podcast on pause over the holidays because of health issues from Quinn and I. You can find the full text of that announcement on our Discord. Originally I planned for the podcast to return from break a few weeks after the New Year, in the hopes that this wouldn’t be any different than previous holiday breaks.

Unfortunately, we've hit a little snag. Namely, my mental health!

I don't fully understand why, but my anxiety has come roaring back, to levels worse than it was before I was medicated. To put it this way: I have averaged 1-2 panic attacks a day, and it's not slowing down now that I'm off holiday break and back at work.

That's meant finding the energy and attention span to record or prep podcast work has been incredibly difficult, if not impossible. Thankfully, I meet with my therapist again next week at her new practice, and I can hopefully get something done about this.

In the short term, though, this means we're off for a few more weeks, but hopefully no more than that.

I really appreciate everyone for their understanding, and I hope we can get back to bringing you more episodes soon.

And as I mentioned in my prevoius post on Discord - patrons, if you aren't happy with this break, or just want to pause while we're away, I totally understand, and there is no hard feelings at all. The podcast is fully paid for in terms of hosting fees for 2026 thanks to y'all, and I truly can't thank you enough for your support.
