Thank you all so much for your understanding and patience as we navigate this transition.
Hotel Bar Sessions isn't going away. You'll still get regular episodes through Oct 10. After that, just a temporary bar closing while we clean up some messes.

We remain committed to keeping the podcast alive and the Hotel Bar open. Full stop.
Unfortunately, though, HBS will need to take a brief pause after our 200th episode (on October 10th) to re-group, re-staff, and re-organize... but weβre excited abt bringing in new, fresh, exciting voices!

Once again, alas, HBS is looking for new, smart, engaging "talent" to fill our recently (and abruptly) vacated co-host seats.
Think you have what it takes to carry an interesting conversation? Know someone you'd recommend to fill the open barstools?
