The Final Sign-Off: Saying Goodbye to The Kris and Kristine Show

Hey there, it’s Kris—just me today. This episode is a tough one because I’m here to officially say that The Kris and Kristine Show has come to an end. It's been over a year since our last episode, and honestly, I wasn’t sure if anyone would still be listening. But I felt it was only right to give the show a proper send-off.In this episode, I share the journey—from launching during the podcast boom of 2020, to building a morning radio-style show from our bedroom with cheap gear and big dreams. I talk about what it was like co-hosting with Kristine, how life and love sometimes clash with creativity, and what led us to step away from the mic.I’ve backed up every episode and moved the show archive to Spotify for Creators, so it’ll still live on even as we say goodbye. I also reflect on our stats (over 60K plays!), some lessons learned, and what’s next for me—including Podtastic Audio and maybe even another show someday.If you’ve ever tuned in—thank you. Truly. You made this more than just a passion project. You made it an unforgettable chapter in my life.You can still find me at podtasticaudio.com. And who knows? This might not be the last you hear from me. 😉Until then, happy podcasting.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 – Is anyone even listening?
