Hi Everyone! The world is crazy, work is hard, but one thing that hasn't changed is our love and enjoyment of creating this show and talking about the things we are passionate about. Caffeinated Banter has been a great experience and I speak for myself and ColdDeath that we wouldn't change a single episode or a single day we have worked on making this show what it is. Looking back on how this show has evolved and tackled tougher and tougher topics, how the show gained a life of its own outside of my own initial creative desires and is something I will never regret. But with all great things, what goes up, must come down, what begins, must therefore end.   The Caffeinated Banter has ended.
