The due date for our podcasting platform is creeping up, and we've chosen not to renew for the time being. The time and attention our son Aaron needs makes episodes very hard to record and upload. While the money for podcasting is fair, the ratio of cost to episodes released would not be worth it in our opinion. We LOVE doing the show and plan to record in the off season until we can return. Thank you for being a listener, and we h...

We finally did it yall, Ariana and I had a baby boy soon after recording The Prince of Egypt episode. In our hearts the podcast has an even greater purpose now that we truly have the physical ability to pass down our favorite movies to young Aaron. This does however come with an unfortunate truth that we can't upload consistent episodes of The PP Syndrome Pod now that we have a baby to care for. We firmly believe the backlog of mov...
