Hey, Rejects.
With a profound mix of pride and sadness, Dave and I are announcing that Episode 65 on May 26 will be the final Rejected Central.
With a gleam in our eyes, we kicked off this podcast as a make-joy hobby project in June 2023, and have had an absolute blast. However, our lives have become incredibly busy in other ways and we’ve found it difficult to give RC the care and attention it needs to be successful. Also, we both work other gigs and have found that RC has eaten into our home and family time, and thus we need to prioritize our bandwidth back to what’s best and most important in our lives.
Thanks to everyone who participated in, talked about, and promoted the podcast. We've talked with so many cool folks and about so many important things, and we're so blessed to have had you along for the ride. Every episode will continue to be available on your fave podcatcher (well, until the apocalypse), and this website will stay live for the foreseeable future.
Now for the best part: we’re raffling off THE VERY LAST Rejected Central mug in support of mental health!
As a final RC act of thanks to those fantastic rejects who encourage and treat mental health in our communities, would you consider donating to the COAST (Crisis Outreach and Support Team), part of the St. Joe’s Healthcare Network here in Hamilton? Dave has selected this lifesaving organization to reflect his passion for mental health, and you may recall that we chatted with Dave while he was a COAST patient in episode 26.
If you can, simply 1) make a donation at this link (https://stjoesfoundation.ca/donate/) please choose “other” in designated to and enter “COAST (Crisis Outreach and Support Team)” in the comments), 2) email info@rejectedcentral.com and let us know you’ve donated (no need to say how much), and 3) wait to see if your name is drawn for the very last Rejected Central mug, which we will get to you NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE!
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for letting us into your earparts and hearts.
Keep elevating the rejection experience, Rejects!
Brent & Dave
