The sad/exciting day is here! The final episode of Trends & Tings is here, and it’s a biggie. We discuss the future and predictions for many of the topics we’ve covered - cancel culture, climate, politics, music and more. We then delve into your questions + reflect on the biggest takeaways from the pod that we’re both left with. It’s an emotional one for us, and we hope you enjoy! A big thank you as well from both of us for listening and supporting us throughout the years, we couldn’t have done it without you all. Love you all! - Gords & Scott
