Dear Snoozecast listener—hi, it’s Vee. I wanted to speak directly to you, because many of you have reached out over the past few weeks—some checking in, some offering kind words, and some understandably worried that something was wrong. First, I want to say: we’re okay. And second: we’re so sorry that we haven’t communicated anything sooner. When N and I slipped into this pause a little over a month ago, it wasn’t planned. Life simply caught up with us, and we thought we’d be able to jump right back in. Instead, we realized that—for the first time in nearly seven years of Snoozecast—we needed a real break to reset ourselves and catch up behind the scenes. Now that we’ve stepped back, it’s clear that the best thing for the show, and for us, is to continue this pause through the end of December. We’ll be using this time to get organized so that when we return in January, we’ll be in a healthier rhythm to keep Snoozecast going strong. A Note for Our Premium Listeners We also want to briefly address our Snoozecast+ and Snoozecast+ Deluxe subscribers. First, thank you—for your support, your patience, and your understanding during this unexpected pause. Premium has never been about profit; it simply helps us cover the costs of providing an ad-free version of the show. During this break, we realized that having two different premium tiers has made production more complicated than it needs to be. So beginning in January, we’ll be moving to one unified premium option: Snoozecast+. Here’s the short version: All current Plus and Deluxe subscribers will automatically transition into the new Snoozecast+. Prices are not increasing—and Deluxe pricing will be coming down to match Snoozecast+. No action is required on your part for this transition. Previous Deluxe-only episodes will still be available, although we won’t be producing new monthly Deluxe episodes moving forward. And for any questions about billing—especially for annual Deluxe subscribers—we’ll send a detailed email once we finalize the technical steps with our premium subscription vendor, Supporting Cast. That email should arrive by early January. And finally: if you choose to cancel your Snoozecast+ subscription—we completely understand. We’ll always be here for you on our freely available public feed. We started Snoozecast in 2019 with a single microphone in our closet and no idea whether anyone would listen. Seven years and a thousand episodes later, we’re still here because of you—your messages, your stories, your kindness, and the trust you place in us every night. This pause is our chance to make sure the show can continue into the future without burning out behind the scenes. And we’re genuinely excited to return refreshed, steady, and ready to bring you more stories in the new year. Thank you—truly—for your patience, your support, and your understanding. We’ll talk again in January. Until then, we wish you rest, comfort, and warmth through the end of the year. —Vee and all of us at Snoozecast Learn more about your ad choices.
