Next time on The Metamor City Podcast:

Metamor City is on hiatus until Chris (1) finishes the first draft of THINGS UNSEEN and (2) builds up a buffer of at least ten episodes that ends at a satisfactory stopping point. No anticipated release date; the podcast will come back when it’s ready, and no sooner (though keep an eye out for some special features to drop later in the summer and fall).

Until then, keep it on the bright side!
