Summary

Off Book as a weekly released podcast is coming to a joyous conclusion at 300 episodes. Tune in as we book some all time faves for a fantastic finale!

-But we could never just fully say goodbye! We'll be hosting all episodes for free forever!

-We'll continue to perform LIVE and all those eps will be published

-We're working on tour dates now! We'll be trying to reach some new cities as well as revisit others

-Watch the space for future FamBand Livestream shows

-Please take this opportunity to cancel your Memberful if you'd no longer like to sponsor us. We totally get it! The original description of the Memberful will no longer exist but if you'd like to support us by helping to cover hosting fees we appreciate it, if not, no worries!

-Launching this summer on the same feed we'll be publishing episodes of a BRAND NEW venture. Zach and Jess write a new musical and you listen in and help them shape it, with the goal of an Original Cast Recording at the end of the year.

Finally, thank you thank you to the BEST fans in the world. You've created an amazing, kind, supportive and hilarious community. You've helped us shape what Off Book is and we don't have the words for what you mean to us. We hope you'll stick with us as we transition into the next phase but we'll be forever grateful for what you've given us over the past (almost) 6 years. We love you!
