Episode 669 – Indefinite Hiatus

Virtual Memories Show 669: Indefinite Hiatus For his 2025 year-end wrap-up, Gil’s putting The Virtual Memories Show podcast & newsletter on hiatus (!): talk about your crazy New Year’s resolutions! He talks about how he recognized It Was Time For A Break, whether or not this podcast is what gives his life meaning, what he might get up to (HINT: it’s WAY past time he finishes writing his Instax book), and how months of depression after his dad’s death left him feeling like he was out of options. He gets into his 2025 highlights and why he needed to visit his photo library to overcome his amnesia, the hairiness of his professional life, the thrill of receiving holiday cards from his arts-heroes, the blessings of this world, and a lot more. It’s the last episode for a while, so GIVE IT A LISTEN! SPOTIFY PLAYER TK Enjoy the conversation! Then check out the archives for more great episodes!
