Krachel giveth, & Krachel taketh away

<p>Remember in <em>Harry Potter</em> when Fawkes the phoenix would near the end of his life cycle? He’d get all wheezy and bleary-eyed, and generally look the worse for wear, and Dumbledore would encourage him to “get on with it.”</p> <p>Then, of course, he’d burst into flame and emerge again from the ashes, a tiny and somewhat ugly little chick who would soon grow into his former glory.</p> <p>Well, as we near our 200th episode of the podcast, we’re feeling a bit more like “old and wheezy” than “youthful and resplendent” Fawkes. So, it’s time to burn some stuff down and start anew!</p> <p>In the spirit of death and rebirth, we’re taking something away <em>and</em> giving you something new.</p> <p>KRACHEL TAKETH AWAY</p> <p>We’re cutting back from 8 podcast episodes per month to 6!</p> <p>Instead of blogging every Tuesday, we’re going to be publishing episodes every-other-Tuesday. Sometimes they might be blogs, or <em>Rachel Rants</em>, or special bonus episodes.</p> <p><strong>But mostly, we’re going to use our two Tuesdays a month to give you “Magic 8-Ball” episodes: Where we pick any of our past 200 episodes, somewhat at random, and reintroduce it to you.</strong></p> <p>It’s likely, even if you’re a Clarity on Fire super-fan, that you haven’t heard 100% of our past episodes. And that’s a shame, because there are some <em>really</em> great gems just sitting there, waiting to be discovered (or rediscovered, as the case may be).</p> <p>Think of these episodes like a shake of the Magic 8-Ball—whatever message you get is the probably the exact one you needed that day!</p> <p>BUT KRACHEL ALSO GIVETH</p> <p>We’ve been wanting a way to connect with you that’s easy, fun, and a lot less time consuming than listening to us gab on the podcast for an hour or more each week!</p> <p>So, we’re getting hip to the times and sliding into your DMs (that’s how the youths say it, no?).</p> <p><strong>That’s right, we’ve got a phone number and we mostly know how to use it! So, want to get weekly texts from us??</strong></p> <p><a h
