Cup of Jones - December 28, 2020 (Patreon)

It has been wonderful to have some time off to spend with my family, and among dozens of reasons to celebrate at the end of this difficult year, I thank you. I'l be back to live episodes next Monday, and I'll take questions/comments from this post and the one from last week. As previously discussed, if you have a personal question that you'd been avoiding asking, I'll be happy to kick off 2021 by answering it on January 4th.

It's incredible to think of how much has changed in just one year. Last December we were still working from the studio on a regular basis, unaware how much the pandemic was about to affect all of our lives. I was living in a different house, working in my garage, Kyle Bosman was still a part of the team, and we were busy making plans for an in-person EZX that we were very much looking forward to.

But the nature of Easy Allies from the very beginning has been bouncing back from challenging setbacks. Almost 5 years ago I would have never thought that a team like us could be supported without the backing of a major media company, but we've been producing content now for half a decade. When we had to start working from home, it was hard to imagine a work schedule that involved us all recording each show from our own desks with our own cameras, but we made it work and have learned so much in the process.

These accomplishments could not have been achieved without your support, regardless of your tier or duration of patronage. It never fails to impress me when I check our Patreon total, or number of members, and I'm always moved when I notice new names appear in the Podcast Producer Credits, or recognize a name jump up to get the coveted Shout-Out.

So as we finally kick 2020 out the door, thank you again, a million times. Here's to handling more big changes in the new year.

See you next week!
