    EPISODE 241: THE LAST EPISODE

    Welcome to the final episode of Creative Block! After 5 years of running the podcast, the crew has decided to say goodbye to the podcast the only way they know how: making a podcast episode about it. Join the creative block team, VEE, SEAN, EBUKA, MARCO, AND CLEM, as they say their goodbyes to the show.  In this final episode, we talk about why we’re ending the pod, if it’s Lordspew or lord’s pew, Perks of the POD, and so much more.  While we talk, we doodle on a MAGMA, where we draw from prompts we got on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, THREADS, NEWGROUNDS, and PATREON.
