    Note from Sam: In the whirlwind of story time and catching up with each other's lives, you'll notice that we didn't get the chance to go over your questions this time around! I'm truly sorry for snubbing you guys!

    As we close off this final official episode, once again I would like to just express my eternal gratitude to you, the listeners, for the support we've gotten over this past year! Although the size of our listenership was never truly the be-all, end-all of this project, I have to admit it felt incredible to see our numbers grow and to see the kind of impact we've had on your lives. Knowing next to nothing about running a podcast, this was an amazing project to undertake, and the lessons I've learned from this will undoubtedly be invaluable in providing you guys with even better content moving forward! 

    Thank you to Noelle for putting up with all my nonsense and debauchery, for overcoming the challenges of putting together a show every week (while juggling a full time job and a fur child), and most importantly for keeping me accountable. From the very beginning you have been the perfect partner-in-crime, and I mean this in every way when I say: there could not have been the WORST podcast in Korea without you.

    Though this is the last episode, this is not the last you'll hear from us.
    Expect to find us on your feed, your FYP, your Twitch highlights, and much more.
    But until then.. this has been the Wonderful One Room Story Time Podcast.
    Thank you!
