    Announcement - 3/9/20

    Hello everyone,
    I will be taking a short break from the Stuff Explained podcast.
    Over the next week or so, I will be moving to a new apartment in Hoboken!
    This move will take (is already taking, if I'm being honest) quite a bit of time and energy on multiple levels (as I'm also juggling it with my day job and another project which I will discuss soon), which doesn't leave me with much to put out the quality of episodes I would like to.
    So, instead of spreading myself to thin and risking the consequences of doing so, I am going to heed my own advice regarding self care and focus on the move.
    Once I am settled, I will rededicate myself with renewed vigor to researching, hosting, and producing the best episodes of Stuff Explained that I can.
    In the meantime, catch up on past episodes and reach out via the below:

Eclectic in the best way!

Love this podcast so far! Every episode is a completely different topic from Wellness to Ice Cream, Aristidis seems to do his homework about the history and background of each one. Excited to listen to what topics he covers in the future!
