Well, instead of just saying, Trust me, bro. I wanted to do something a little different and special to show you that I truly did my due diligence and I am leaving you in good hands. Not that I'm completely leaving, though. Of course, Liz and I decided that I'll be back on the show from time to time, at least once a quarter for the foreseeable future, and I'm so excited to do that so I can keep you up to date. on all things DPM, but as I head out of daily SPI work, And turn my focus to D Pocket Monster. And before Liz and I even made the announcement

I spent time in Liz's community. And what I saw blew me away, and who I saw. And so today we have a podcast with two special guests. who actually come from Liz's community, who have been a part of the SPI community in some way, shape, or form in the past as well.

And then we have Melquia, who is incredible and absolutely an amazing talented artist.
