Ultimate Urban Fantasy Podcast

On the podcast this week, we discuss the past year, both on the podcast and in our personal lives. Some of the topics we revisit are our favorite interviews, the shows and movies that we reviewed and if they did well or if they flopped, and about the changes in our lives, like Sherri’s baby and Karma’s (one of the podpets) knee surgery. We also discuss what our reasons, goals and hopes for the podcast had been, and if we achieved those. We’ve been talking for the past month about the work that goes into creating the weekly episodes, and the results we’ve been getting. As much as we enjoy hanging out with each other and sharing our passion for Urban Fantasy with listeners, we can’t justify the time investment any longer. So, with sadness, this last podcast of the year will be our final episode. We hope you’ve enjoyed it. Thank you for being a part of this experiment.
