Our gang has aft agley. Thank you everyone! Onward! Hi everyone, Kevin here with a bittersweet announcement. After some discussion we've decided it's time to retire this iteration of the podcast. Nothing dramatic, just where we're at currently. But before you click that unsubscribe button, I enjoy podcasting too much to stop outright, so I'm confident something else will arise, and when it does this will be the feed.Meanwhile Pixels and Puppets continues with game streaming and Frankie Play, and I even have one or two ideas for some more produced video work in the gaming and tech space, so there's plenty more to come. And of course Operation: Puppet itself continues unabated.Thanks to everyone who listened, this was the most successful podcast we've done yet, and I hope you all join us for what comes next. As always, operationpuppet.com for all the links, join the Discord, and like a certain frog once said, life's like a movie, write your own ending, keep believing, keep pretending.Music Credit:Funk Babe by emiliomerone.
