Dear Listeners,
As of July 7, 2019 Fun Facts podcasting will be removing the majority of our episodes from our hosting platform so that we can cancel our ongoing hosting subscription through our provider, Spreaker. Spreaker has been a fantastic partner to us while we built our tiny podcasting empire and we recommend them to anyone interesting in trying or launching your own podcast. Given that Fun Facts is on indefinite hiatus, it makes the most sense to cancel our paid plan with the platform. But good news! Thanks to Spreaker's limited free plan we will continue hosting some of our favorite episode indefinitely. Links to those episodes and segments are included below. Thanks to everyone who listened to, appeared on, and otherwise supported Fun Facts. It was a fun learning experience and we're grateful to have been able to pull it off (for a time). Best of Fun Facts: Episode 2: Actual Lawyerly Knowledge Episode 4: Amy's Mirror Image Bonus: What Changed Reid's Mind on the NEA? Episode 6: People are just Humans Bonus: Passion on Spoons Episode 15: Who's Gonna Bake a Cake in your Underground Bunker? Until next time!
