Jan 'Yarn' Muths: What's up everybody? This is Jan speaking from the Production Talk podcast. I just wanted to give you a quick update and let you know what's going on. So first and foremost, my apologies, I haven't been releasing new episodes for a while. That is because of the survey that I started earlier this year and all the amazing insight I gained from it.

Jan 'Yarn' Muths: So I'm currently completely redeveloping this podcast from the ground up, and I'm giving it a bit of a new, uh, coat of paint. So to. Fresher, more interesting, punchier, and all up. I think much better. I've already started recording new interviews, so the episodes are piling up on my heart drive, and they're going to be released very soon.

Jan 'Yarn' Muths: Please stay tuned to this space for new updates, but first I need to ask you a big favor. And the first 77 episodes of this podcast were pretty much a one-way street with me talking and you listening, and I would really like to shake this up. In other words, I would like to hear more from you. I need to know what you think about the podcast, what I can do better if you have any questions or comments or interesting insights to share.

Jan 'Yarn' Muths: So therefore, I'm considering a very exciting new feature, and I need you to do a test run with. Head over to speakpipe.com/production talk and it will lead you to a website where there's a very simple record button. Once you click it, you will record your own voicemail for me. In other words, I'm going to hear your voice and if you send me questions, if you send me insights, anything interesting to share, I will consider putting it on the Production Talk podcast.

Jan 'Yarn' Muths: Yes, that's true. It's your chance to get your own voice onto the Production Talk podcast. It could be a question, it could be a comment, it could be some feedback or something that I've missed, something exciting that you want the podcast community to hear. So if you like this feature, if you think that's interesting, I need you to vote and you simply do this by heading over to speakpipe.com/production talk.

Jan 'Yarn' Muths: If I get enough voice messages, I will make this a regular feature in all the upcoming episodes. However, if you don't like this, There's nothing you need to do, um, don't record a voicemail for me, of course. And then I will of course not implement this feature. So I'm testing this. I need your opinion and I want to hear more about it.

Jan 'Yarn' Muths: So if you like this feature, head over to speakpipe.com/production talk and I would love to hear from you. This is all for the short update today.
