The End of +PLUS

+PLUS the show, not the subscription service, is dead. Rest in Peace... All new shows will be Sword and Scale shows instead, on the regular show's RSS feed.

Make no mistake, you will end up getting MORE SHOWS over the course of the next year, not less. There are a couple of other tidbits of info, so you should probably just listen... Thanks for your support & stay safe!
