Hey there, everyone!
As faithful listeners of the Crossrip podcast may have heard today, we have some regrettable news. For those of you who have counted on us for Monday morning entertainment since 2015, for the first time in our six-year and 300-plus episode history, we’re taking an extended hiatus.
This decision did not come easily. Particularly with the excitement of the new movie at a fever pitch. However both Chris and myself want to leave the door open to come back when the time is right. Which is why this isn’t goodbye. This is we’ll meet again. Don’t know where. Don’t know when. But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day.
Why is this happening? A few reasons. The main and prevailing reason is that I am about to start a new project in which my time will be extremely limited. Also with the eve of Ghostbusters: Afterlife’s release upon us we’ve also come to a mutual decision that we’d love to just go into our sensory deprivation chambers for a while and just enjoy the film release. We’ve waited a long time for this film, and the more we do the podcast and the more we need to talk about news and speculate about items, the more we find ourselves delving into territory we’re hoping to dodge until well after the film release.
This franchise, and the new installment forthcoming, are all about bringing joy and light to the end of a very long and dark tunnel. Particularly after the pandemic. For Chris and myself, Ghostbusters is our escapism, our time to get away. And we’re both overjoyed to be sitting soon in a theater to enjoy the new film and start a whole new chapter as fans. There will certainly be a whole lot to talk about in the future. Don’t worry.
So what’s next? Well, the good news is that we already have several episodes already in the can that will be released through the year end including our usual mixtapes and holiday episodes. We have a couple unboxing episodes hitting the YouTube channel that were banked, and perhaps there might be a surprise episode drop here or there. And then after that, once we’re into 2022? Let’s touch base then.
One thing is for sure: we are so thankful for all of you listening, supporting us, calling into the voicemail, sending words of encouragement, laughing at all the in-jokes and terrible podcast bets, and for allowing us to be a part of your life for all of these years. And once we hit the airwaves again, which hopefully won’t be too long from now, we hope that you’ll welcome us back into your home, car, daily walk, or wherever you tuned in once again.
Thank you. Each and every one of you. We love you all.
See you on the other side,
Troy
