As the title says, I am taking a break from podcasting. I thought it would be possible to make tutorials on Blender Guru and run Poliigon, and do a regular podcast. But it’s not. Or at least it’s not possible to do well. I had to admit to myself, that if I wanted to give the most value to the most amount of people it would be to make tutorials not podcasts. So I don’t know for how long this break will be, and to be totally honest it’s possible that this might not return. I don’t know if my career goals will favor podcasting again, but if it does, this is where I will post it. Follow Blender Guru on Youtube or Poliigon at Poliigon.com if you’d like to see where my time is going. Thank you for supporting the show, and thank you for listening to the all the amazing guests we’ve had in the last few years.
