For 9 years and 470 episodes, I’ve been the cohost of a podcast called #Rocket. It ended this week. The full episode is great https://relay.fm/rocket/470 but I went ahead and clipped my goodbye message. I mean everything I’m saying/crying through here and I thank all of you for listening and supporting us over the years.
@film_girl This is a sad day. As soon as I saw your episode title "Terminated", I realized what this will be about. 😭😭😭 Thank you for every episode. I did not listen to them all but I always enjoyed those that I did.
@film_girl I was listening last night and the tears were real!!! I always enjoyed listening to Simone, Brianna, and your take on tech topics!
But most importantly I was up to date on all the scams! 😭
@film_girl A bittersweet show. A great last show tinged with sadness. It was hard going at times listening in. It certainly came through how much the podcast means to you, @briannawu Simone and the rest of the team.
@film_girl oh no! Yours was a staple of my podcast rotation. The perspective you brought I couldn’t find anywhere else and out of the mainstream, in my country at least. Best for all of you, your show will definitely be missed!
@film_girl Rocket always got bumped straight to the top of my podcast queue. I’ll miss it a lot. Thanks for all the laughs! Im genuinely not sure where I’ll get my scam news from now… 😢
@film_girl hey Christina. Been an avid rocket listener from Australia. Could get the pain in your voice during the message. Best of luck and thanks for your insights here and through TWIT. You need to get Leo to have you back on.
@film_girl Rocket has been an amazing show, and it bums me out to see it come to an end. It’s been almost five years since I started listening, and I always enjoyed how everyone brought different perspectives to the table.
But I need to tell my Rocket story. Several years ago my wife and I were on a road trip. We were bored, so I offered to put on one of my nerd podcasts. Not usually her thing, but she was like “OK”.
So I start playing Rocket and tell her it’s three women discussing tech. She’s an engineer in tech, so she was game.
@film_girl The episode starts and the first 15 minutes is y’all talking about Simone writing a story about demon sex.
My wife starts shooting me strange looks and my armpits start getting sweaty. All I can say is “I’m sure they’ll start talking about tech any minute now…” Never thought I’d be so relieved to hear someone talk about Microsoft Build. 😅
@film_girl I first discovered Rocket through your ATP crossover. And then I went back and listened from the beginning. The three of you made me more aware about a litany of topics outside of my normal areas of interest. And as a trans feminine person it felt like I was in the secret nerdy club with the girls and I’ll miss that.
I might just wear one of my Rocket shirts to the Relay 10th anniversary show in honor of the Best Worst Show (Formerly) on Relay FM.
@film_girl I would feel honored to exercise the Rocket drink rule, especially because a few years back I was once in the Richmond airport at basically the same time as you but didn’t find out until later 😔.
@film_girl What an amazing run! I've never done anything for 9 years. Kudos to you and the (non-film?) girls. Hopefully you have something else planned in content space.
