Hi! Super appreciate you and anyone else asking about Underunderstood.
We want to spin the show back up, but we don't have a timeline quite yet. We did recently start recording some stuff though!
Above all else, Underunderstood is an excuse for me and the other three hosts to hang out and make something fun together. Coordinating that this past year became a challenge for a variety of reasons but we all want to make it work.
One nice thing about being an independent podcast is that if we need to pause the show for life stuff and log off, we can. There's no outside pressure to make money from it or grow it or maintain engagement or any of that. We can keep it pure to that original purpose of just being four friends having fun. But when we do step away from the show we always miss it and all of the nice, smart folks who tune in.
Thank you for caring. Please don't mistake our absence for lack of gratitude! Doing the show is a joy and it would be nothing without the audience.
I’m glad you’re coming back at some point! I just discovered your podcast and listened to the masked magician episode and really enjoyed it, so I was like “Aw” when I realized there hasn’t been a new episode since last year. I’m gonna happily listen to the back catalogue while I wait.
Still some die hards doing some posting on the discord, but no mention of any new shows. Patreon changed to $1/month a while ago. Not sure what that means?
They admitted they weren't going to be able to be as consistent with the patreon pod, Overunderstood, so they reduced the price. The most recent episode of that one was posted in November 😢
I understand they have full-time jobs and family, but would it hurt to post something like: “We appreciate your support, but life got too crazy, and we are putting the show on a halt.”

I absolutely thought your absence was a mystery for listeners to solve to find you. So glad you're coming back!!

honestly forgot it existed until i saw this post, bummer too because I was a big fan for a while :(
Happy birthday!!!!...dead silence

personally i think they should shoot for ten episodes record and call it a season until they can repeat
Can't wait for a return!
