Yes, you read that correctly. Unfortunately, Steve and I have developed some irreconcilable differences, and in light of that, I’m taking the initiative to retire the podcast. Huge thanks to Gustavo, David Delmonte, Skib, Damon, and all the fans who wrote in to goof around with us- I hope we’ll be able to goof around again at some point in the future. Thanks again, and feel free to reach out via email or instagram to stay in touch. All the best, Jared

Hey GromitHeads, Jared here: sorry for the delay on this one. I’m in production on my feature film debut, and dealing with a dang toothache. Nevertheless, I’m addicted to persisting, and getting this episode out for you. We’ll be back with a new episode on July 5th, and until then be sure to send in your emails, voice recordings, etc- we’d love to hear from you. If I remember correctly, Steve had a real bad attitude when we recorded this one, but what else is new? https://imgur.com/a/t0IDeg7 Questions?

For the momentous occasion that is our 36th episode, we dare to dream of a world untethered from law and order. A world where Dew flows freely and often; where man is ordained with the ability to craft an artisan Dew in his image for the greater good- or detriment- of society as we understand it today. Of course read Nikolai Gogol’s “The Viy” as to better color our understanding of such a world, moreover that is rendered irrelevant.

Your professor had only begun to collect the prior day’s assignment when the school bell rang. Hearing this they pause- pensive and distant- for but a moment before announcing that said assignment can wait one more day.
