Frontend Heroes

A short episode to announce a big change in the future of the podcast: Evan has decided to leave the show!  He's doing so to reduce his own commitments and avoid burnout, but is leaving with a lot of goodwill for the podcast to carry on.  Scott will continue to host the show with a new co-host to be announced in the next episode.  Thank you all so much for listening, and we're both certain you'll continue to enjoy the episodes still to come.
