Back to Work podcast on hiatus?

Suddenly occured to me that I haven’t heard an episode of Back to Work with Dan Benjamin and Merlin all summer. I’ve searched around the 'net for updates and have heard nary a word.

Anyone know what’s going on - are they on break?

I don’t think they are on a break officially, and I’m pretty sure they haven’t said anything about being on a break. I kind of got the impression that they did a show when they had sponsors and did not feel the need to do one every week anymore. I’ve listened to that show since about episode 25, and it also wouldn’t surprise me if they just kind of stopped doing it all together with no announcement of any kind.

After so many shows, and so many years together, I kind of would not blame them either. It’s always fun to listen to, but I get the impression that Dan’s priorities have shifted since he started the network.

I hadn’t realized how long I’d been listening to the show until you mentioned ep25!

I think what you’re saying makes sense, and I hope if they are thinking of winding the show down that they do some sort of finale type episode.

It’ll be a clip show full of “bulk bag,” “thank you Easter bunny,” and Merlin’s bell.

I’ve missed this show so much! I tried reaching out to Dan but didn’t hear anything back. Looks like Merlin is still making his other shows.
