Sad News

Unfortunately this is the last episode of The Pi Podcast. Although we have all enjoyed the last year of producing the show, circumstances have changed and we can’t commit to doing it any more.

We’d like to thank all of the fantastic guests who have given up their time to speak to us. Without them there would have been no show. We’d also like thank everyone who listened and to those who helped to spread the word about us.

There won’t be any new episodes but if you stay subscribed to the RSS feed, you will be the first to know about any similar Pi-related projects in the future. We can’t promise anything but you never know.
