Episode 145: Looking Back as Todd Says Goodbye
We’re crying in our drinks here in the bar as Todd says goodbye after six years of wide-ranging conversations with Elliot. In this episode we’ll be looking at what we feel we did well, things that still need to improve (apologies for the lack of transcripts), stories that surprised us the most and the ones we wish we could have talked about with listeners.
While this may be goodbye, it’s not farewell. Todd will be visiting the bar again in the future; he’s just not going to be a regular.
Join us for a look back (and a look ahead), as we share a few rounds of Goodbye Sadness cocktails together as co-hosts for one last time here in the bar.
