If you’ve been following this show for awhile, you know that I haven’t released a new episode for a few months because our old network, 4D Podcasts, closed up shop at the end of July. At the time, the future of Life Was Peachy was uncertain and I reached out to you for help... and you came through! It took a little longer than expected to get all of the feed stuff worked out but I am happy to announce that Life Was Peachy will return with all new episodes and a new logo in November! You DO NOT NEED TO UPDATE YOUR FEEDS, you don’t need to do anything at all, just make sure you’re subscribed on your favorite podcatcher! I need to give a tremendous thanks to Jake “Stubby J” Beaver at 4D Podcasts, Evan Pederson at Fancy Pants Gangsters and all of you who hit me up with ideas and suggestions, and an extra special thanks to my Patreon supporters (link in the bio if you want to join up) who have helped make this possible! I’m so excited to keep making nu episodes and I can’t wait for you to hear the ones I’ve already recorded so keep your feeds locked in and your eyes peeled because this shit don’t quit. I’ll be back before you know it and you’re going to want to be there. For more info, check out lifewaspeachy.com and @LifeWasPeachy on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

At the end of July 2023, The 4D Podcast Network that hosts Life Was Peachy is dissolving, and as such, I am in search of a new network to host the show. Unless I can find a new home for Life Was Peachy by July 31st there will not be any more episodes! I won't lie to you, I'm not super optimistic that I'll find someone to help but miracles do happens so THIS IS A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO SEE IF ANYONE LISTENING HAS A HOOK UP OR A CONNECTION OR KNOWS SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME SAVE LIFE WAS PEACHY. IF THAT'S YOU, PLEASE REACH OUT, EITHER ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA @LIFEWASPEACHY OR EMAIL ME AT LIFEWASPEACHYPODCAST@GMAIL.COM. The alternative is that I can find a hosting solution myself but I can't do that without your help. There are hosting costs that, while not astronomical, I cannot cover because I do not make a dime from the show. I have a Patreon to help support my creative projects including Life Was Peachy. If just 15 new supporters sign up right now, even at the lowest tier of support, that should be enough to cover operating costs. THIS IS ME DIRECTLY ASKING FOR YOUR HELP: If this show means something to you, and so many of you have told me it does, please go to patreon.com/andrewcahak and pledge whatever you can right now! I know things are hard for a lot of people right now, I'm not looking to make money here, but I need your help to keep Life Was Peachy alive. In the words of Fred Durst: Show me what you got!
