Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio. Thank you everyone for all the kind words and

feedback that was sent in last week off the back of our milestone episode 600, which was

falling on the 12th birthday of Sigma Nutrition. So a double milestone of sorts. And it was great

to hear everyone say not only nice things,

but more importantly to tell me some of the stories of their experiences with the podcast of

people who had listened way back in the early days that ended up setting them on a trajectory

to get into nutrition or to help them with their studies. There has been really interesting experiences,

some of which I was aware, some which I wasn't, which was really nice to hear. We had people

who had started listening to the podcast when they started doing their master's program in

nutrition and who are currently now professors in nutrition. So stuff like that was incredible

to see and hearing from people who

had used that by referencing it and giving it to their students, people who had used it to

initiate into nutrition or to use it as part of their studies. And all of that was not really

nice to hear, but shows that there's some utility in this and people

continued to get value from it. And indeed, at the end of that episode, some of our comments

that we said with our kind of usual dry, deadpan style, of course, about the podcast

finishing and it being our last ever one, as you can appreciate now by listening to me

here. You can clearly see that that is not the case. The podcast is indeed continuing, at least for

now, but we are continuing and we have some excellent episodes coming in the coming weeks. And so

that is the good news. But given the fact that many people message me to say, disappointed or sad they were about

it being the final episode, shows that at least the podcast still has utility and people

are still enjoying, listening to it and finding it as a valuable resource.
