Hello everyone,


I will be taking a short break from the Stuff Explained podcast.

Over the next week or so, I will be moving to a new apartment in Hoboken!


This move will take (is already taking, if I'm being honest) quite a bit of time and energy on multiple levels (as I'm also juggling it with my day job and another project which I will discuss soon), which doesn't leave me with much to put out the quality of episodes I would like to.

So, instead of spreading myself to thin and risking the consequences of doing so, I am going to heed my own advice regarding self care and focus on the move.

Once I am settled, I will rededicate myself with renewed vigor to researching, hosting, and producing the best episodes of Stuff Explained that I can.
