I really hope she’s done material about Ea-nāṣir and his shitty copper

another podcast i love ended its run in Oct last year (Oh No Ross & Carrie). I had caught up around early October and jumped over to another one to catch up there as well, and today i noticed that ONRAC had released a single episode in the time i hadn’t listened to it and it was a short farewell. Seems like something major happened to one of the hosts, hope they’re ok

I’m still sad about that one. The awkward, sudden way it ended and the hosts recording separate goodbye messages left a lot of people speculating that the hosts themselves had some kind of falling out, but nobody knows for sure. All I know is that it was a horrible way for a beloved 13 year old podcast to end, and while Ross said he’d be moving on to new projects, I haven’t heard a single peep from him since ONRAC ended.

It was very sad to find out for me today. I’ll have to look around for something to replace it, just not sure what type of podcast i want to sub in

From Carrie:

Hello, friends.

I’m sorry to report that – after 13 years – Oh No Ross and Carrie is over, for the foreseeable future.

But first, thank you. Thank you to Ross, the only person I ever obsessed with about one thing (weird ideas and why we have them) for thirteen years. Wow. He is permanently etched into my life story, and I will always hold that. Thank you to the very patient Ian and Victor; to everyone at Maximum Fun (the best podcasting network in the world); and to our guests, experts, and subjects. Thanks most of all to our listeners. You are uniquely thoughtful people. Don’t forget it.

The decision to end the show is the right one for me. Unfortunately, I experienced a traumatic event. I am in PTSD treatment, and I expect it to take some time. I’m also working (as I’m able) on some cool things with Drew, and finishing the trauma book (whoops, that just became more relevant), and you will hear from me again soon. You’ll hear from Ross sooner .
