Dear Magic Rays of Light listeners, We wanted to let you know that we are taking an extended hiatus from producing our weekly Apple TV podcast. Some personal challenges have arisen in recent months which have forced Sigmund to conserve energy and focus solely on health and family for the time being. Given those circumstances, we’ve concluded that – as much as we wish we could – we aren’t currently able to produce the podcast up to the standards we have for ourselves and our audience has come to expect. The good news is that plans are afoot for when Magic Rays of Light does return in 2026, and we’re both already itching to record again. Until that time, watch some Apple TV, play some Apple Arcade, and we’ll see you around! – Sigmund and Devon
