Ladies and Gentlemen, people of all genders, and gifted woodland animals, this is Ben Riggs, Brad Davies, and Sarah Babe coming to you with a very special message.
Since starting Plot Points in September 2013, we have put out 264 episodes. Today, we announce that Plot Points is going dark.

We’ll maintain our email (plotpointsemail@gmail.com), Twitter (@PlotPointsPod), and keep the archive of the show open.
