Hiatus (again)
Dec 30, 2019Tap to summarizeWe got a question about this recently, so I suppose an update is long overdue???with apologies for anyone who may have been concerned or disappointed by the lack of updates. Bottom line up front: The House of Jack and Stan is on hiatus for the time being. Slightly longer version: I???Tobiah???have been preoccupied over the summer and fall with attending grad school. My initial intention was to continue releasing episodes on slower schedule, but school has ended up taking all of the time which I would otherwise spend researching and editing episodes, and more. I’ve tried to continue working on podcasts, but the time to produce episodes of a quality I’m happy with has simply not been there. It’s possible that circumstances may allow us to release new episodes in 2020, but only time will tell. As always stay subscribed to our feeds, follow us on Facebook or Twitter, and stay tuned for future announcements. And our deepest thanks to everyone who has listened to our myriad ramblings over these past years.
