Note: Not one of our typical podcast episodes
Joe Capone (aka Caponus, Cap) was our great friend. He was also our show's Twitch moderator, producer, and mentor. He's part of the reason we started the show - because he knew how to help us get it off the ground.
He taught us to love big and support each other wildly and openly. He showed us how every day by doing that himself.
Joe passed unexpectedly in June 2022. It was a rough time for everyone, and along with Joe's family, we're still mourning his loss. Not a day goes by without his name or humor popping up, and it's not uncommon to be perfectly fine and then suddenly not. We all grieve differently, and we've been trying to allow ourselves the time and energy to do so.
It took a few months to be able to listen to this memorial in order to edit and post it. After listening, we decided not to edit it. So it has all the live glitches and tech issues, all the tears, silences, live audience chatter, and potentially things that aren't conducive to a quality podcast. We decided that it's ok - we'd rather have a raw experience with this one. No ads or sponsorships, either.
