The End of The Panpsycast

Hey everyone,

Today I have to break some sad news. After ten years of The Panpsycast, we have taken the difficult decision to bring the show to an end.

We started this project in 2016. Since then, we have released over 400 instalments of the show; never (not once) missing our schedule to bring you your Sunday philosophy. That's an extraordinary accomplishment. One that I owe entirely to our phenomenal team and everyone who's supported us.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the 100+ guests who have joined us on the programme, as well as Tyler Hislop our brilliant audio editor Charlotte Mudd our illustrator, and all of the organisations who have supported us throughout this  journey. (Apart from Sudio Headphones. Do better.)

To those of you who didn't enjoy Mystery Philosopher, Pop Pop Philosophy Quiz, and our pronunciation of 'discussion', I hope you rot in hell.

To everyone else, thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening. This show has been and always will be my favourite thing. Thank you so much for being a part of it.

To our patrons, I can never say how much it means to me that you supported this project. I'll never find the words for it. But please know that all of us on the show, and every listener, are incredibly grateful for your generosity.

We just released Episode 163. Don't worry. We're not going to leave it on such an awkward number, nor on such an unsatisfactory note. We'll do you proud. With this in mind, we have two final episodes coming your way.

Episode 164 will be our final interview, featuring Martin Pickup, leader of the Global Philosophy of Religion Project 2 at the University of Birmingham. We'll be speaking to Martin about the future of philosophy, as well as all the things we've learnt from our many collaborations with the University of Birmingham's projects.

Our very last episode will be Episode 165. We're going to go back to the beginning, old-school Panpsycast. Just me (Jack), Andy, and Olly, discussing the philosophy of friendship.

We'll be releasing these episodes before the end of the year, so keep your eyes out for both.
