Hey Okay Now Listen fans, as you can probably tell by the lack of music and usual intro, this is not a normal episode.

We know a lot of y'all have been asking us why there hasn't been any new

episodes lately and we don't want to leave y'all wondering or confused any

longer. Unfortunately Netflix decided to end our podcast.

Okay, Now Listen, was the labor of love that Scotty and I truly poured our hearts into.

The little pandemic podcast that could, we are forever proud of what we were able to

accomplish in these last few years. Do know this is not a goodbye. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make Okay Now Listen what it was,

including but not limited to,

Jasmine, Jess, Pineapple Street Studios, Danielle, Cindy, Kara, Amanda, and thank you to all of our

guests, Spike Lee, Isireay, Zendaya,

Jasmine Sullivan, Nia Long, Marabrakakakil,

Damsin Idris, Tia Maori, Kim Fields, Our Mothers, Sheila Scott and Elizabeth O'Quarrie, Michelle Bhutto, and more.

Scotty, you want to say anything to the people before we sign off? I just want to tell, I want this message to go out to all the black women the women who help create this

podcast the woman I do it with and the women who listen and don't hesitate to share, to talk about it, to think about this

podcast, to even, to listen to the podcast, to text a group chat about the podcast like to all the black women that

literally shared beyond our wildest dreams. We had an idea of what this podcast can do, but Honey Child, it soared.

Way beyond that.
