    Hi Katie and Christian,

    I really love your podcast and miss it. Are you going to keep doing it or is it over?

    After Peter Rowlett and Sam Hansen went off the air your podcast has filled that mathematical void.

    In fact, I like your podcast better than theirs only because I found Samuel Hansen to be really annoying and all they ever talked about was Alan Turing.

    I appreciate the time you both have invested into having interesting interviews and information on your podcast and I hope to see another episode soon ;).

    Oh, and I think the aperiodical is a great site!! Keep up the great work!

    Best,

    Jon
