The future of TER Podcast

This is not an announcement I had expected to make under such circumstances, but unfortunately the TER Podcast will have to come to a close. We will release the final recorded interviews, and possibly a final panel discussion to close out 11 years of the podcast, but for now I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has supported the podcast - the contributors and guests who have given their time for every episode, and the listeners whose support has been the reason we've kept going for so long!...
