On this episode of Gin & Justice, with heavy hearts we announce that we will be taking a step back from the podcast. For awhile we will not be releasing any new episodes but we will be keeping all prior episodes live. Life has thrown us some wild curveballs this last year and we've both been feeling overwhelmed and that we didn't have the time and energy each of our episodes deserves. We never want to sell these stories short, or as Amanda says "we don't want to ever half ass this, we want to always whole ass it."We are still reachable through our emails and socials. Please continue to reach out, and please don't stop sharing these stories and spreading the information needed to create the change we all need.Farewell for now, not forever.xoxo- G&J Oh, we also talk about Alabama, and their terrible Death Penalty choices.Alabama's upcoming gas execution could harm witnesses and violate religious liberty:https://www.npr.org/2023/12/12/1218591962/alabamas-upcoming-gas-execution-could-harm-witnesses-and-violate-religious-liberAlabama’s new execution method could be dangerous for everyone in the room: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/lethal-injection-alabama-kenneth-smith-b2464318.htmlDon't forget to leave us a review and follow us on social media!https://www.ginandjusticepodcast.comhttps://www.facebook.com/GinAndJustice/IG: @ginandjusticepodcastTwitter: Gin_JusticePodTikTok: Gin_and_Justice
