This may surprise you as much as it surprised us to make the decision: today's episode of Core Intuition, the podcast that @manton and I have run for more than 16 years (!), is the final episode. Enjoy, and thanks to all our listeners, members, and sponsors who have supported us for so many years. https://coreint.org/2025/01/episode-626-something-has-to-change/

@danielpunkass @manton that’s a helluva run

@danielpunkass @manton 😭😭😭😭

@danielpunkass @manton noooo!
Thank you both for your time over the years, you will be missed

@danielpunkass @manton Wow! I remember when you two started, and I remember thinking “huh, I didn’t know they knew each other”. Congrats on quite the run.

@danielpunkass @manton Congrats on a stellar run, you two.

16 years...

Definitely something to be hella proud of.

@danielpunkass 🥺

@danielpunkass @manton thanks for giving so much of yourselves of there years. I've appreciated your honesty, vulnerability, and your desire for us all to be better Bravo 👏🏼

@danielpunkass @manton Oh wow! I’ve loved your show and will miss it. Best wishes to you both!

@danielpunkass @manton congrats on the run, and thank you for everything you put into it.

@danielpunkass @manton Wow what a surprise. I’ve been listening for 6 years now and I loved the show. It was inspiring for me. Thanks and all the best for you both 🫡

@danielpunkass @manton Sorry to hear that you’re stopping. Always enjoyed it. Thanks for making it!

@danielpunkass @manton That was quite a run, and you two should obviously be proud of it. Some might be sad, but I say congrats.

@danielpunkass @manton It was a great run! Thanks to both of you for cranking out the informative and entertaining episodes week after week for so long. Here’s to what’s next! 🍻

@danielpunkass @manton thanks for everything, it has been great to (in a passive way) join you on this ride

@manton has @danielpunkass's make believe Boss approved this decision?

@danielpunkass @manton end of an era! One of the few podcasts I still listened to. Good job, guys.

@mukmantheorigina @manton Thanks buddy!

@danielpunkass @manton sorry to you end it but congrats on the run. I can’t recall how exactly early I started listening but it may have been from the beginning or very close to it.

@danielpunkass @manton WHAT???!!!

@danielpunkass @manton oh wow. I've listened for years and years. Thanks, and all the best for what's next.

@danielpunkass @manton Congratulations on a terrific run. I especially admired the honesty and authenticity you both provided. Thank you.

@danielpunkass @manton it has had such an impact on so many, myself included. End of an era 👊

@danielpunkass @manton Longtime listener. I will miss „the soothing sound of your voices“. Thank you for the great podcast.

@danielpunkass @manton Core Intuition had a truly unique Indy dev vibe which made me feel represented in the way I go about… things. Thanks! 🥲

@danielpunkass @manton Thanks for the fun episodes. I always loved that you folks tackled serious topics, but always with an eye of not getting bogged down in the negatives, it helped me a lot when all the news were doomsaying.

And of course you achieved your goal of nerdy and human very well.

If you ever get the craving to podcast again, make sure to shout far and wide so us people can come back :D

PS — is there a way to send you folks a “goodbye tip”? I never got around to subbing 😅

@uliwitness @danielpunkass Thank you! There’s no tip, but I’m sure Daniel wouldn’t mind if you needed a copy of MarsEdit, or wanted to subscribe to Micro.blog for a month. 🙂 But seriously no expectation at all.

@danielpunkass @manton Congrats to you both on a long and successful run.

@marczak @manton Pretty darned long! @macdevnet might have us beat?!

@danielpunkass @marczak @manton I started in 2007 with Late Nigjt Cocoa, then the The Mac Business Podcast and the MDN Show. Then started the current iDeveloper podcast in 2010. So have been podcasting longer but Core Int is the longest running I think.

@danielpunkass @manton I listened to every single episode for nearly 14 years, no skips at all. Guess I’ll have to figure out how I’m going to be productive with this extra 45 minutes per week. It’s CoreInt Savings Time! But seriously, I’m really going to miss it. Hope I continue to occasionally see both of you at various Zoom meetups and maybe WWDCS. In fact, there’s a Zoom meetup tonight…

@danielpunkass @manton I will miss your voices in my ears! Thanks for all those episodes.

@danielpunkass @manton What a run! It's been a long while since I listened, but every time I visit a specific grocery store not far from where I live, you pop up in my head, because I once listened to an episode there. It must have been more than ten years ago. Happens every time, and it always puts a smile on my face. Like this one: 🙂 Thank you.

@danielpunkass @manton @film_girl Wow, congratulations and thanks for such an epic run.

@marczak @macdevnet @danielpunkass @manton much congratulations to both of you for Core Intuition. I’ve been a listener since the very first episode.

We at @cacaocast look forward to taking the crown of longest-running Mac podcast on October 12th of this year… https://cacaocast.com/episodes/1/

@danielpunkass @manton I just recently started listening. Weird because I have listening to podcasts since the iPod. Sorry to hear you go!

@danielpunkass @manton 😢 I’ll miss your podcast. Thank you for all the content and particularly the perspectives you brought to so many issues in our world

@danielpunkass @manton Ok. Someone listen to it and let me know if it ends well, because I refuse to get "Lost" or "Battlestar Galactica"-ed again by investing time in something that ends poorly.
