Some news: Emmanuel and Alex will be stepping away from making the show. And this iteration of Reply All will be ending in late June. This isn’t a decision that was made by any one person. Reply All has always been a super collaborative project which is what we’ve loved so much about making it. Ultimately, staff who have been working on this show for a long time – in some cases five, six, seven years at this point – are ready to pursue other things. Making this show has been an incredible pleasure. Thank you all so much for listening. We hope you join us for our remaining episodes, including our last one, on June 23rd.
