Today we announce that this is the final episode of the Retail Ranger Podcast. We're taking the summer off and coming back in the fall with a new format. We will be covering more helpful topics such as disaster preparedness, canning, communications, container gardening etc. We sincerely appreciate everyone's support over the last year and a half and are looking forward to our next adventure together. Peace!
