Episode notes
Happy holidays everyone!!
If you’ve been with us since the beginning, all the way back to 2017, thank you for continuing to join us for this crazy ride.
We started with biweekly episodes and transitioned to weekly episodes. Now, we're excited to share that we’ll be adding two additional episodes a month (every other Thursday) starting January 8th!
The new episodes will be titled Between The Madness, and you now have the option to listen to these episodes in our regular podcast feed or watch me present them to you on YouTube and Spotify!
Follow our YouTube channel to be notified of our releases: The Minds Of Madness Podcast
Our Spotify video channel will be created next week, and I will update you all with that information once it's complete.
We would also like to thank all the listeners who have generously contributed to Gunner Alan Lindbloom's GiveSendGo campaign. It's still not too late to help Gunner and his wife navigate this difficult time: www.givesendgo.com/gunnerdetroit
Since this was supposed to be a dark week for us, we decided to pull Gunner's episode out that was released in Oct of 2021 and re-release it, as many of our new listeners may not have heard it. It just might be the only episode we've ever produced that has a happy ending.
From everyone at Team Madness, we'd like to wish you a Happy New Year!!!!
