Sadly, I announced on this week’s podcast (#138) that I will not be continuing on Lip Gloss and Laptops beyond September 2009, due to my busy academic schedule, and some other professional commitments I will be taking on. It’s decision I did not take lightly, and frankly, it makes me sad.

I’ve had a great run doing that show for the past two and a half years from the little basement studio, my living room, the road, hotel rooms, Vegas, Lynnwood, (heh heh) the list goes on. As Air says, it’s a great body of work that I should feel proud of, and I do. I’m also proud to have shared the mic with such a wonderful co-host, and made so many amazing and wonderful connections from our listeners all over the world, and right here in our backyard. Many of you I will continue to keep in touch with via email and these lovely little social networking sites. I’m sorry if my departure disappoints you guys.

Airdrie and I will continue to record this summer, bringing some kick ass shows to ya’ll, and the blog will go on…providing our readers with product reviews and all the other interesting things Air can cook up. I am hoping that Airdrie continues the podcast in some shape or form, even though one of the greatest things about it was our collaboration on it. I know she’ll have people lining up to be on the show with her, and there is so much wonderful west coast talent here. Maybe I can do the odd guest spot, like the Christmas Special, wearing a special Christmas sweater, but for now, I need to concentrate on some life balance and getting my ass into grad school.

As we discussed on the podcast this week, we’d love to hear any feedback from our listeners as to how you’d like to see the show go if Air does continue. I know how much she enjoys doing the show and values our community of listeners. Brainstorming welcome. When a door closes, a window opens, and there is much potential for L&L. I just don’t have the time to give it the attention it deserves.

Thank you so much to all of you who have supported our show. It’s been a slice.

Sorry everyone, but Airdrie and Kerry Anne are postponing episode #137 an extra week until next Wednesday, June 17. The end of the school year and everything else have us all extra-busy and we simply didn’t have time to put a show together this week. Our apologies.
