Thanks! Full Transcript: Speaker 1: Welcome to the Get Up and CODE Podcast with your host John Sonmez. The only podcast that combines fitness and programming and does it in less time than it takes to finish your workout. John: Hey John Sonmez here and welcome to another episode, perhaps the last episode of Get Up and CODE. You might have seen the writing on the wall here. It might have been apparent to you. If you’ve been a listener of Get Up and CODE for a while you might have kind of figured out that things are winding down and the podcast might be coming to a halt. That’s definitely the case now. I’ve been evaluating this for a while. I’ve been trying to make things work when Iris Classon first left the show I thought about shutting it down there but I thought, “Okay, I can probably keep this going. I have some things to talk about. I can do lots of interviews and maybe get another co-host.” I never found the right person as another co-host and I haven’t given much time to the show as I would like. I’m glad that I’ve been able to keep it going for this long. It’s been over 2 years now so that’s pretty awesome, over 100, I don’t even know what episode number like 100 and something. I’ll have to check and see, 119 I think, is it where we’re at here? Oh no, this will be 110, so we’re ending on 110 here. This show itself is not something that is growing at this point. All of you loyal listeners I appreciate you supporting the show and listening for this long. The show is not growing. I feel like I don’t have a huge amount to contribute anymore. I think in the fitness space and the diet and—the health and fitness base and diets base there’s only so much good advice that you can give people and then that’s sort of it. Part of the reason why I started this show in the first place was I felt like there was a lot of hype out there. I felt like a lot of people were giving really bad diet and fitness advice, trying to sell you something, trying to make money off of gullibility and not telling the truth so I wanted to have an honest podcast that could help and motivate developers to really get in shape and to start thinking about fitness and thinking about their health and to not have to cut through all the BS that’s out there. That’s why I started the podcast. What it turns out is there’s not a whole lot beyond the basics. I mean you can talk about how to be healthy, how to eat a healthy diet, what foods are healthy, do some things like meal timing. You can talk about how to lift weights and how to exercise and how—the pros and cons of different things like that and supplements. There’s a list of topics. In 110 episodes the show has been going on we’ve covered a lot of those and covered some of them multiple times. I just don’t feel that I have a huge amount to contribute and I also feel like the panel although I think it was good and I appreciate everyone on the panel who joined the panel, I don’t feel like it’s really a great direction for the show and that it’s going to really stay in line with the original vision of the show. For that reason I think I’m going to go ahead and shut down Get Up and CODE. Now, I’ll leave the episodes up obviously. If someone wants to take over the show I would be willing to consider something like that.
