Hey, it's your host of a Vietnam podcast. New here. Thank you so much for listening to this podcast. Over nearly four years, 240 episodes, every continent and over 45,000 downloads. I have to share with you that Vietnam podcast is going to be going on a hiatus for a while in its current form. For a while now, I just haven't had the time, the resources and the energy needed to continue publishing regular weekly episodes and the same quality that I want to produce for you. And that you're used to. And I have kept this podcast going for so long because of people like you and the support that we have and the listeners to the show. So I was still recording the odd special episodes here and there before season 10 comes and it will come wherever re-interview previous guests from throughout all the seasons and see, well, they all know. So look out for that. In the meantime, I'll still be regularly posting pod swaps from my other Vietnam related content. I'm producing. Like BIA stories That you may already have seen and a brand new podcast and launching as I'm recording this in partnership with Vietnam has awesome code. The Vietnam is awesome podcast. Compared to a Vietnam podcast. This will be a more travel focused podcast on what to do in Vietnam, but still hosted by me. I'm also starting a weekly comedy show in district one. Eddie's Dana. That will be for tourists with comedy, about life in Vietnam. So come check that out. It's been a really hard decision to make, and it's definitely not the end of a Vietnam podcast at all. I just need to refocus my energy on other projects at the moment. And we'll restart when I have the time to give it my full energy again. This year, the main focus will be on Seven Million Bikes podcasts as a company. Which is unbelievable to see considering I started in 2019 as Seven Million Bikes or Saigon podcast. I've no grown to produce podcasts around the world for clients and two of my own as well. I honestly don't think I could have kept it going for 242 episodes and nearly four years, without the support of you, the listener you've been in the top 10% of podcasts worldwide. And I still remember the feeling when I found that out and it blew my mind. So thank you so much again. Remember, there is a massive back catalog of episodes now with a diverse spectrum of guests. And that's something I've been the most proud about Vietnam podcast is focusing on diversity of voices. I'm not privileged to call many of these guests, friends as a result of being on the podcast. So enjoy. Uh, Vietnam podcasts. There's plenty of episodes to go back through and listen to and enjoy the future pods swaps. I'll be sharing with you and as always, please reach out, send a message, send an email. I'll always love to hear from you. Thanks very much. Cheers.
