The time has come for this chapter of Personality Bingo to close. In this episode, I provide a little context as to why now feels like the right time to end the podcast in its current state and move onto a new chapter.
While it's never nice saying goodbye, I hope this episode will give you a completely honest insight into the decision and please know that, should you ever miss your weekly dose of Personality Bingo, there are 139 other episodes to go back to, again and again.
