I was surprised, but not surprised to hear the news today. For a creative writer like you to do the same gig for 10 years is FOREVER in artist-time. You created an amazing series of podcasts that will survive the test of time. Informative, necessarily ridiculous, always surprising, and always great guests. You had Cate Blanchett!!!!!!!
I will miss the chemistry between you and Louis the most. Of the tetrabillion of hours of podcasts out there, where else can you find a conversation that goes from "The Materialists" to Zootopia to ACAB to Louis's to fear of rabbits and back, it not only made sense, but felt vital and like the world was missing that conversation the whole time.
I humbly request in the custody arrangement, that we get to see you and Louis together at least twice a year (Pride and Christmas)?
I will miss your very thoughtful interviews. You were always super prepared, had the best intros ever, showed that you knew the guests well without becoming a fan or know-it-all. Like me, you had seen all the standard questions and knew how not to ask them while still letting the guests get their plug in!
You two were my bridge to "the culture" so I didn't have to feel as old as I am.
You are so talented, and I know you have big things ahead of you.
Please keep harassing Louis in regular frequencies.
I’ve been Keeping It since episode one — all those years ago. Catching up with you and Louis has been my weekly ritual throughout nearly all of my twenties. Until Keep It, I hadn’t heard pop culture spoken about in the way I talk about it with my friends. Thank you for 8 amazing years, Ira! For being with us through it all and letting us come along for the ride. I cannot wait to see what comes next for you!!
Fell to the ground when I saw this in my email! Had to rush to catch up on today’s episode. So so sad to hear you’ll be leaving. Looking forward to seeing more of your future works but you’ll missed so much, Ira!
Ira, I was listening to this most recent episode and Ruth Negga was mentioned and you and Louis went into your bit, a Keep It Classic! I busted up laughing and it was just the pure joy of a long time listener. But then at the end of the laugh, I realized that the Ira & Louis dynamic duo is coming to an end and I was sad. I just wanted to tell you thank you and I will miss you.
I'm so sad! Keep It is my favorite podcast, the only one I anticipate coming out each week. Thanks for the years of fresh takes and deep cut nostalgia. I will be slightly adrift for a while without it!
Thank you for bringing some light and humor and thoughtfulness into my life weekly. I’ll miss it! And best to you in your future endeavors. No doubt you’ll continue to bring it. Not good bye but hear you ( and read you) later. 🌞❤️🏳️🌈
Keep It has been, and will be, one of my favorite weekly listens and you will be very much missed. Thank you for these past 8 years (did not realize it has been that long!!). Excited to see what you do next & to continue to read what you write (tbt to the Almodóvar reviews) :)
I save Keep It as a little treat for myself on the weekend and gasped out loud when I read this. You will be missed there and hope for some white excellence from Louis. Glad we get to still read you here and elsewhere!
Thank you for all of the amazing shows, the interviews, the laughter, the many recommendations that I followed for great books, movies, shows, music and more. I will miss you terribly but am happy for you and will always be a fan. Has it really been 8 years???

Can't wait to see what you do next.
Congratulations but also noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Nooooooooo 😭 congratulations on recognizing it was time! Who will Alexander Skarsgaard flirt with now???
Um, ME! He has my e-mail...

Will miss you. Love my former colleague Louis, but you laugh more than he does. Excited about your next iteration.
My heart stopped reading that. No one says “baybee come awn” like you do and I will miss it. Thank you for being in my ears for so long.

100% devastating news for me but very excited for what’s next for you!!!

I thought the same, like what do you mean 8 years?!
CRYING, so proud of you, can’t wait to see your next moves.
