This episode of the podcast is a bittersweet send off for John. John is leaving the podcast and so we thought it’d be a good idea to have a celebratory gathering of friends and talk about it. Mr. Melty, Emily Kell, Randal and Morgan join us for the Occassion. We talk about being true to yourself, being honest and having open communication. I’ll miss you John! All the listeners and I thank you for getting Artsy AF off the ground. Keep shining brother, Love you!! I threw in a sad and silly country song at the end called "John Speaker", pretty sure it’s a biography of John’s life so I figured it was cool to use it as a proper outro song. I do not own the rights to the song. Episode was recorded on Wednesday 5/27 before the protests really popped off, if you’re wondering about their conspicuous absence. “John Speaker” by Doug Irving  If you value what you're hearing and want to support the podcast you can find out more about how to do that at https://www.patreon.com/artsyafpodcast Rate, review, subscribe and
