This farewell episode reflects on the podcast's long run, with Wyman thanking listeners and pointing them toward his upcoming projects: the new biography podcast Past Lives and the forthcoming book Lost Worlds. The episode is a personal sendoff rather than a deep dive into any single historical topic.
