Hey everyone, this is our last show of Hammer Lane Legends. As the show has evolved over the years you've seen many different hosts, guests and even producers to help us along the way. Each one has been a key to the shows growth and to the content that was put out, all of which we've been grateful for. As this is the last show, we just wanted to say 'Thank You' to all of you who have listened and enjoyed the show. It's been a joy getting to interact with all of you over the years. If you were on the show before, as of now, we plan to keep the audio and video feed available for all to listen. Thank you again for allowing us to jabber-jaw in your ears for years. As always, Keep the Hammer Down in the Hammer Lane!
