Basically, we're changing from a weekly episode format to a seasonal one! Researching,  recording, editing, and social media is all a lot for just me (Tansy). I can't keep up without cutting into sleep. Worth it, but can't maintain that forever, so the Raw Moon gang is taking a break. We're planning new episodes to come out in October, November, and December. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and our email are still open to you, new episode posts will still be going up on all of those with new episodes.We'll be back soon :)
