UPDATE to Object Obscura Season 2

Hey guys - just wanted to let you know there is no episode this week. Due to the nature of this show - where I’m researching these episodes simultaneously, not all of the stories are complete.

So I hope to release a new episode every Friday starting next week on October 15. If there are more developments then I’ll let you know in a future update episode.

I also wanted to share some news with you. It’s just over a year since I released my very first episode about a WWII Japanese phrasebook.

Since then, we have surpassed 1,000 total plays on all podcast streaming platforms. Thank you guys for continuing to listen and give feedback.

I want this show to be a conversation- even if I do find most of the answers that arise in each episode.

But if you haven’t listened to some of the newer episodes then go ahead and do so - you have this next week to catch up.

I also have created new business cards for my DBA, The Obscurity Podcast Network.

Thank you everyone - happy hunting and stay obscure.
