Greetings one and all. I am here to report some very necessary, and unpleasant, news.
Today, August, 12th, 2008 is the 2nd anniversary of the first show ever recorded for Vadercast - The Dark Side of Podcasting. It is oddly poetic that it is exactly two years later that I announce that Vadercast - The Dark Side of Podcasting will immediately cease creating new content and its Spin-off, VaderCast Live! will not be performing anymore.

Personally, I am returning to school and need to focus on finishing my degree as well as my other projects which, in addition to being fun and fulfilling, actually are profitable. Vadercast.com will stay up for as long as I can justify it to be so and eventually it may come back to life in another form. You may see it change form and become something else entirely or this may be the last message you see for a long time. The shows have been mostly a 1-man effort for quite some time and I no longer have the desire to keep it afloat through my efforts alone. Huge thanks go out to Rick for his contributions to the website in addition to my own and Cole and Catherine of APOTAC for supporting our show with co-hosting and prizes and giveaways since the beginning. Big thanks also go out to John, for without whom none of this website would have been possible.

Thank you also to Tamara, Leo, Ben, Ben, and Brian for being a part of our little piece of web-space and the show and everything else. Also, a huge thank you to our guests who’ve been nice enough to let us interview them over the past years. We are very grateful!

To end now allows hope for the future and I very much hope that everyone that has been along for the ride has enjoyed it at least a little bit. Here’s to more adventures!
