Hello everyone and welcome to slash film daily for Tuesday July 13th 2021 on today's episode of the show

We are going to be doing something a little bit different my name is Ben Pearson I am a senior writer at slash film.com and I am joined on today's episode for the first time and a long time by slash film senior news editor Jacob Hall.

Hello, hello.

Jacob, welcome back to the podcast. It has been a minute, sir.

So the reason that I wanted to have you on today

is because, well, news is not super exciting right now,

but there are some big changes

that are happening in the world of all things slash film and we've actually

written a couple articles about this on the site but just in case people you know have

not had the time to check those out I thought it would be cool to bring you on and have you explain

why you've been absent for a little while and sort of lay out the future of

slash film. Yeah, I've been gone because I've been really hard at work on the next generation of

flash film that the next iteration 2.0 if you will I mean well you're getting a

brand new slash film folks. The website is being top to bottom

redesign a completely brand new modern look both on desktop and on mobile both

launching fingers crossed in the very near future I can't give you

a t-b-b-db-deed just yet but it is a can't give you a date yes just yet it is tb-b-dibd

but it will be sooner than you may think is what I'll say I as soon as I know the proper

date everyone well no that's my dog sparking on the background that's all good

Jacob I read the the article that you wrote on slash film.

I'll link that to, you know, in the show notes so people can read that themselves.
