From Relay FM, this is Upgrade, episode 257. Today's show is brought to you by Warby Parker, Square Space and Lumen 5. My name is Mike Hurley and I'm joined by Jason Snell.

Hello Mike Hurley, how are you? I am very well, Jason Snell.

Hashtak to start the show comes from the son of Michael.

Upgradeant Michael. Michael asks, when a podcast comes to an end, do you

unsubscribe from the feed or do you keep it around in your

subscription list?

Oh, this is a great question.

I have heard from a lot of people that when a podcast ends they keep it around sort of

nostalgiaically. The nice thing about most podcasts is when they end it's not like the feed goes away.

It's all still there and so I generally

don't if I've listened to it all I generally don't keep it in my subscriptions

list because I know it's it's gonna to go back there if I want to go back I can

resubscribe to it but I I generally will do a ceremonial deletion of the

podcast after a brief tasteful period where we you know we honor it of the to the depths of space. I don't do it because there have been too many instances where some of my favorite shows have just like ended and then multiple years later an episode appears.

Yeah. And so I'm too scared in case I'm going to miss it. So like there's a couple of

shows like one one of my very very favorite podcasts of all time is a video game show called the besties and it's

podcast for a while like many many years ago or at least one of them and it's like

it's like four or five and it's like five best friends talk about video

games right it's just like I love that kind of

thing and it's got a couple of the mackereloys on it and they stopped doing the show and then

they randomly started it again and then they stopped it again and then every year they publish a game of the year
