Time to say goodbye!
After 5 years of talking about all things feminism, geekdom, and LGBTQIA+ issues, the time of Geek Herring has come to an end.
In this episode Amanda and Moni talk one final time about their decision and what led to this point.
We are forever grateful for every single person who listened to our ramblings.
Hopefully we'll see or hear you in one way or the other out there.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
Forever geekily yours,Amanda & Monika

We have a fantastic conversation about the trials and tribulations of content creation, what it's like being a visible woman, and how we are all changing the world one day at a time.
We also had some amazing community questions:
From Cyrub_KoC on Twitter: Deme, as a fellow content creator, how do you gather the motivation to continue creating? I’ve hit a pretty bad wall and I don’t know how to get back into the groove of creation. Any tips?
From TitansCreed on Twitter: Why are you so coooooooooool?

Customer Reviews
You need this podcast in your life!
These ladies are not afraid to tackle difficult subjects on their podcast. They have great guests and create shows that really make you think about things, yet still staying in the world of geekdom. The chemistry between the two hosts is amazing.
The future is for everyone.
Geek Herring takes a look at the world of geek in a critical way, while keeping conversation engaging and welcoming.
I think it's a really important movement to continue to talk about feminism in a way that educates and gets somebody to stop and think about the impact of actions or words in both positive and negative circumstances. Geek Herring does just that.
Amanda & Monika have amazing chemistry together, and it makes every episode an enjoyable listen.
I'm looking forward to following your journey guys, keep it up!
