Tune in on Wednesday, March 18th from 5 – 8 PM ET for the final episode of the show.
Thank you to everyone who’s supported the show over the last eight years, it’s been an incredibly meaningful and rewarding ride.
The show will enter an indefinite hiatus, as DJ Pup is moving across the country to Los Angeles. Let’s have some fun on the way out!
Check back here for the audio and playlist of the full episode after it airs. I’ll keep the archive alive and kicking for years to come, so there will always be Flat Circle hijinks within your grasp.
