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.
