Hello and welcome to the last ever episode of Aiway with Jemina Jamil, a podcast against shame fuck me it's here oh my god i'm gonna say

i hope you're well for the last time i love checking in on you every week it's very surreal it's

very very surreal i told you for a few months of this is coming and then suddenly last

week I decided it's just time to rip off the band-aid because otherwise I'm never going to actually go

because I find it so sad because I love this podcast so much and I've been doing it for almost

five years. We have covered almost 250 subjects on this podcast and I never expected this to go on so long or to

become so big and I can't believe how many hundreds and thousands of you have stuck around from the

very start. Thank you. Thank you not only for sticking around and for sharing it with other people,

but also for your support, for your letters, for your messages, for your graciousness. I've had to grow up in front of you on this podcast in

the last almost five years. I've also been able to find so many of my amazing guests because

you recommended them to me. You told me that they were inspiring you and then they came on here

and inspired the fucking shit out of me and everyone else. So thank you. This has been a real community project

and a true honour. I truly think it's one of my favourite things I've ever done in my career. I've

been an interviewer for years and years and years before becoming an actor and I really love it.

And I adore you. And it's fair to ask why I'm leaving.

I've talked about this a few weeks ago, but in case you missed it, there's a few reasons.

First of all, I love all these subjects and I kind of want to get into them in a deeper way.

It's incredible to have the introduction to hundreds of new topics, all of which

are very important. But in 45 minutes to an hour, you only really get to touch the surface

level. You can't get into all of the history and the context and the nuance and real

tangible ways to take action about these subjects. And so I think I need to

figure out some sort of longer form content or mini-series around I-way that I can come back with.
