Where Do We Go From Here

CosplayBytes ·

2025/01/23

I wanted to make this impromptu episode to sort of vent about the frustrations I've been having with my show since the last episode. Difficulties in booking guests and immense feelings of being unwanted in the cosplay space. I also talk about the possibility of having this new season of the show be its last depending on the content output I'm able to manage. I apologize if this does seem like I'm whining a lot but I've just had these feelings for awhile and wanted a space to let them run free.
