I’m sorry about that, Jason. You’ve done an amazing job for many years. I couldn’t imagine trying to do what you do professionally and full-time. I barely do a half-ass job on my podcast as a hobby

I hope you’re able to come back to podcasting and to IR sometime. Maybe you just need some time.

Good luck, and remember to always do what’s best for you.

Hey Jason,

So sorry to hear you signing off of IR. I will definitely miss hearing you behind the mic. Thank you for all that you’ve shared.

IR has been such a positive force. I will continue to follow the Regionals and I hope you hear you around from time to time.

I hope things are looking up for you.

Jason,

I’m definitely disappointed to see you step away from IR, but at the same time am also looking forward to following what you have on your plate currently with your developing podiobook/soundtrack. Thanks again for all the face melting opportunities!!!

Just a note to say how sad I am that the main IR should end. Hope your personal life takes a turn for the better, and great thanks for all the music you’ve introduced me to.

Although I never quite agreed to some of the bands you featured, that doesn’t mean that I didn’t like the show. With someone like you at the helm, a person with such diverse music tastes, I knew I could get a little bit of everything every time I turned in. Who knew that when I searched indie podcast on google it would come up with one as good as this? Sad to see you go.

I may not be able to completely understand how hard it is what your doing, but I would like to say good job and thanks. And don’t worry, I’ll continue to use the songs and artist you’ve introduced me to in my YouTube vids.;)

Jason,
You are going to missed more than I can put into words. Your show and those that have branched off of it have gotten me through most of my high school career. If it weren’t for your amazing podcasts, mix, playlists, and super hilarious antics and rants I probably would have listened to the local radio more and ended up wanting to murder myself daily. Your podcast opened a world of music to me that I wasn’t familiar with at the time and now I cannot live without.
I hope everything goes well for you as you part from IR. Good luck be with you in all things. I’ll be watching your sites for sure always in hope for some musical quip, a good laugh, or just an informative journal about this and that.

Thanks Jason,
Kelsey

Goodbye Jason…and Good Luck (Joes) …

In this world of American Idol-created pop acts, corrupted music executives and rehashed 70’s bands, Insomnia Radio gave me the opening to a world of independent artists and music that I only dreamed could exist. Well, Jason has decided to call it qui…

Jason. Sorry to hear you have to go, but I completely understand. I went through the same thing 2 years. Minus the Justine bit of course. But at times life can overwhelm. And when you have a hobby that takes up that much time and devotion, and still have to work to pay the bills, it becomes easy to feel ass whipped.

I wish nothing but good things for you in the future. Give me a call anytime if you need to talk my friend.

Cheers

Michael

Whoa…like a ton of bricks. But…you gotta do what you gotta do.

Jason, I’d like to think that some of that sanity you lost, I gained. Stranded out here in southern China in a sea of bad Canto and Mando-Pop music, IR was the oasis I had been searching for. Through your podcast, I learned there is so much more out there than what I can browse at HMV. I’ve gotten the Indie music bug, and I won’t let it go.

Thank you for opening the doors to music to people around the world. I wouldn’t want to say you would quit forever…its in your blood too. But, just step away, re-energize and then come back with new ideas and great new music. You ARE new media…and you will be missed.

You have no idea how you have changed the world for the better.

God Bless…
