Spicy Techy

Hello Spicy Techy Listeners,

It is with deep regret that I inform you that, as I am no longer able to commit to the project, we have come to the difficult decision to discontinue the Spicy Techy podcast effective immediately.

On behalf of Ali Moosa and myself, Siena T, I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to all of you, listeners, guests and supporters, for travelling along with us on this wonderful journey. It has been an amazing ride, and I have learned so much from each and every one of you.

I would also like to thank my cohost, Ali Moosa, for your hard work and dedication in making Spicy Techy a success, and for being my guide and mentor and showing me the ropes of hosting and editing.

Please be advised that this change will not impact our sister projects, SienaT Radio and Techstravaganza, which we are happy to continue to provide for your listening and learning enjoyment.

Once again, Ali and myself would both like to extend our deepest thanks to each and every one of you for your ongoing support.

I wish each and every one of you all the very best, and look forward to staying in touch.

Kind regards,

Siena Trigiani
Co-Host, Spicy Techy
