Amazing series that nosedives at the very end

“For many years this was my absolute favorite podcast, one that I’d gleefully share with friends and family and we’d all look forward to each weeks episode. Even own the original hard copy of the first book and traveled to Chicago for one of the live shows right before the pandemic shutdown.
While it was never going to win a Pulitzer (sorry Rocky), there was always a semblance of a plot and story that kept me invested year after year yet once the pandemic occurred things just went downhill and it feels like everyone essentially gave up.
Obviously there may be factors we, as listeners, don’t know about and COVID impacted the world in a very severe way so I’m not trying to minimize that but to go an entire year with little to no updates besides the compilations and Christmas episodes only to then release a season with a huge cliffhanger and go ANOTHER year+ with nothing just doesn’t seem like good business sense.
Apps like TikTok and other streaming services skyrocketed in popularity and use during the pandemic and Rocky even wrote a Belinda lockdown volume which was released in November of 2020, why not cover this?
Instead we get radio silence for years and the end we were eventually given felt VERY rushed and barely addressed anything from the major cliffhanger in the season before to a point that was immediately noticeable, even by Rocky’s standards.
Listening to the “finale” gave the impression that everyone had perhaps found new jobs or interests and were simply wanting to be done, which is valid but after having invested years and hours upon hours to this podcast, are longtime fans not worthy of a bit more transparency as to why the show was ending rather than acting like this was a logical next step or that the storyline made any kind of sense?
Not since Game of Thrones have I witnessed a series tank so suddenly and so poorly and as a result of this I no longer enjoy listening knowing how the ending was handled nor do I feel compelled to recommend it to anyone else.
I hope the hosts are happy with whatever they’re doing now and while it won’t be the same I suppose it’s good to know Belinda’s story lives on in print.
Still, I was really hoping for better and am left with a bitter taste not unlike an old pomegranate.”

“A gripping, compelling plot. The story told through the pages of Belinda Blinked can hardly be considered a porno. Nay, it is to be hailed as the greatest written work of the modern era. Rocky Flinstone is a genius, a master, and above all: a god. With elegance, he crafts a totally unique,...”Read full review »
