Unpacked Is Ending -- But Not Forever
Hi our brave, wonderful AMBITION warriors!
As you probably surmised given the inactivity over the last 1.5 years (what on Earth is time), the podcast has gone on a bit of hiatus. This is partially just due to #life, but also, Creator Maggie is thoroughly inundated with the creative work of bringing the final season and its ancillary content of AMBITION to fruition (which, by the way, ICYMI -- Part 1 of five years is a long time is now available at @ambitious-2022 and on AO3). After discussing it, Maddi and Maggie have decided to retire this rendition of the podcast.
However, you didn't think that was the end of the story, did you? Of course not! Instead, the gals are simply putting the pod into hibernation... and we're planning to come back full throttle, from the top, after the AMBITION Series Finale. We'll essentially be doing a post-series reread with all the same fun chatter, behind the scenes insights, and more, but with no creator-spoiler holds barred. With the full narrative shared at our fingertips, Maggie and Maddi will really be able to unpack the saga (and yes, Maggie is very excited to be pointing out every time the show hinted at The Narrator from as early as Season 1).
So this is not a goodbye, it's simply a "for now." Obviously, we can't say when we'll be back, but know that we will be when the time comes. And there will be much, much more to say about our beloved, silly fictional TV show.
Until then, we'll be releasing 5 more episodes of Unpacked tonight at 6PM EST, recapping "The Miserables" [ 109 ] as a swan song (and finally posting what Maggie has had in her edit drafts, lol). Thanks for reading, thanks for listening, and here's to all that is to come.
Come so far, got so far to go...
