At the beginning of this year, we lost Andrew Koenig to suicide. Andrew was the video producer for Never Not Funny, a podcast hosted by our good friends Jimmy Pardo and Matt Belknap. He was also Jimmy's brother-in-law. Andrew was a kind man and is fondly remembered by us and remains loved dearly by his family.
Today, I got an email from a listener named Laura Geryk. Like a lot of folks, she knew and loved Andrew through Never Not Funny. Sadly, the week Andrew died, Laura also lost a coworker, BB to suicide.
To remember Andrew and BB, she's walking in a fundraiser for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. We hope you'll support her efforts to bring suicide "out of the darkness."

Thank you for bring more attention and awareness to this event. Suicide is a national health problem and much more needs to be done to prevent the tragic loss of life by suicide. There are more than 220 walks taking place this fall. To find one near you go to www.outofthedarkness.org.

I know it feels like a long time ago, but it was only February, around the Olympics.
Very sad time...
