Myke and I, over on the 70Decibels blog:
When we started Ungeniused last year, we wanted to explore the rabbit holes on Wikipedia. We haven’t met our goal, and there’s lots left to explore. We could record forever, never running out of topics.
That makes the rest of this letter awkward, so we’ll cut right to the chase.
Ungeniused is being retired.
I want to stress that there are no personal reasons behind the show’s retirement whatsoever. I’ll still be on the network (in fact, I’m taking Myke’s spot in a few weeks when he goes on vacation). From a cost/benefit standpoint, continuing the show at this time just isn’t an option. We want to deliver a quality product every week, and we don’t feel like we can do that currently.
This was a hard decision, but one Myke and I made together, as friends and business partners. We will continue doing the 512 Podcast, and are both excited about the future of that show.
To all of the fans of Ungeniused, thank you. Your emails, suggested topics and reviews were humbling. We’re sorry to disappoint you, but we hope you understand.
