We release our final episode of 2021 with an update about our hiatus, why it'll be longer than we anticipated, and some self-reflection on how our recent situation affects hobby podcast endeavors. We also have a combined (condensed) version of our annual Our Gear tradition discussing our equipment purchases over the past year.. In our Better Podback, we ask listeners if they have any gear purchase plans for 2022.
