A Message from Ryan:

This week, we celebrate MASH Matters' 6th anniversary... and the 52nd anniversary of M*A*S*H's premiere.

In a perfect world, Jeff and I would commemorate this auspicious occasion with a new podcast episode. However, you will have to wait a little while longer.

I underwent sinus surgery three weeks ago. While the surgery went well, the recovery is taking longer than anticipated. My doctor tells me that I still need more R&R (and not the fun kind in Tokyo).

So, unfortunately, our hiatus continues. We don't yet have a timeline for our return, but we hope to be back soon.

Thank you for your kind messages of support and your continued patience. You are the finest kind.

Here's to our seventh year... coming soon!
