Jake and I feel it is best for us to move in what we feel is a more positive direction with the show. We are determined to actively disengage from the toxic media cycles that Peter has been caught up in for the last decade because our primary aim has always been to focus on the joy of creating humorous and informative content. Conflicting modes of operation made it very difficult to retain a healthy professional environment but we are optimistic about the future of Low Society Podcast moving forward and excited to press on with the exciting episodes we have in store. We also appreciate everyone who will remain supportive during this transitional period. We wish Peter well.  (Tweet). Twitter. Archived from the original on April 29, 2021.
