Friends,

I love producing The Tracy-Hepburn Podcast. I never intended to stop doing the show for months at a time. But a combination of lack of content and my own busy schedule have kept me away from the microphone. I'm going to do my best to bring the show back, beginning with an episode before the end of July. From there, I hope to at least get out a monthly podcast, more if I can.

As I have said on the show many times, I would love it if some of you smart, well-informed Tracy and Hepburn fans would participate in the show, either by suggesting segments, or joining me for conversations about our favorite duo. If you are interested in participating in the show, please email me at tracyhepburnpodcast at gmail dot com.

Finally, I want to thank each and every one of you who subscribed or listens to the show, and especially those who leave comments. It means a lot, and it's those comments that have strengthened my resolve to bring back THP.

Thanks to everyone who sent feedback about The Tracy-Hepburn Podcast. I received many good suggestions, and I have some ideas for making the show better. As always, I would love to hear from any of you who would like to contribute news, reviews, or features to a future show. I can accept your audio files, or I can help you produce your contribution.
