  <itunes:subtitle>Nathan and Eppy discuss transitioning out of the second season of the show. This is a meta episode where we talk about the show, and why it feels right to divide what we're doing in it into seasons. We toss around some ideas for homework for the next season, discuss how it'll line up with our game projects in progress, and go into the concept for the next Unwritten Earths title - the Adventure &amp; Hobbyist Annual 2026! Thanks for listening, Scholars!</itunes:subtitle>
