Hi, this is Joe and I've got an announcement about zealot. I took an extended break from

recording and releasing episodes and some of you absolute legends have been messaging

me asking if the podcast is coming back. Sometimes quite aggressively, but look, you're passionate

and you like stories about the worst people in the whole world. So, after a bit of a

relax and a bit of a think, I've decided that zealot won't be coming back. There's

no bad reason for that at all. I've had the best possible time making zealot and the

response to it has wildly exceeded my expectations. It led to me writing a book and recording

a live episode in Canada and speaking to so many people I admire and making jokes at the

expense of exploitative narcissists. My favourite, it's been incredible and I'm just done. I'd like

to finish zealot while it's a grape, not a raisin, and as my eighth favourite jingle says...

Thank you to every single guest who helped me talk about these bizarre, awful, fascinating

cults. Thank you to the Chosen One shops in three different neighbourhoods for helping

me feed my guests. Thank you to Jerry, a.k.a. the Everglades for my ridiculous jingles. And

oh my god, thank you to every single listener. What a bloody ride, eh? Don't join a
