A Quick Word About The Podcasts...

Hey, so, it's been a while, here's what's been happening with the podcasts, both NECRO SHOCK RADIO and the Movies + Beer Podcast... Because of recent health events in my life, I had to cut my Soundcloud account back down to the basic free account, which means that I am very limited in what I can post there. As such, I had to make the hard decision to essentially delete all the past shows, and going forward, when I get back to doing NSR, the episodes will be limited run, depending on how many I can fit on the platform. I hope this will be temporary, but these are the cards I have to work with. As to when the shows will be coming back...I don't know. As far as the Movies + Beer Podcast, all the shows there will eventually be moved over from Soundcloud to Anchor. That means that the episodes will be available on both Anchor and Spotify, and possibly more in the future when I have the time to figure out how to set them up. I've been talking with Brian and the other Exalted Geeks about current episodes, but like with NSR, right now I am mostly focusing on the (temporary) setbacks with my health issues, while any future episodes are a bit more spaced out than usual. So until then, I'll be working hard to get back up to producing more content. I've been getting back to writing out reviews on my perpetually backlogged archives, as well as always viewing new movies to get to, so there's not a lack of material to work with. To both of you who actually follow all of this, I will be back. Thanks for watching. --James "Uncle NecRo" Case
