Hello dear listener, Here's a short PSA. The last few months of 2024 turned into a semi-unplanned hiatus. But, 2025 is bringing more Realm Maintenance, focused on what the show was always about: other creators and interviews. So I hope you'll join us for our first episode of 2025 this coming Monday, February 24th. Until then, thanks for listening, and take care.
