Yes, there will be a fourth season of The Fort Erie Podcast…I promise. I just don’t know when exactly it will happen. In this short episode, I offer listeners an explanation as to why I am delaying the production and release of season four. Simply put, the provincial stay-at-home order (not to mention the pandemic at large) has made it virtually impossible to cover local news and events. Same goes for small business owners in our town. It’s tough for them to talk with me about what makes their businesses great when they’re being forced to keep their doors shut for an indefinite period of time. But this won’t last forever. Sooner or later, things will begin to return to normal and, when that day comes, I’ll be ready and waiting to get the ball rolling on season four.
