What Happened to All About Android Podcast?

Just noticed it is now cancelled and some of the hosts are creating a new show under the DTNS banner. I am out of the loop. Appreciate if someone can explain. Thanks.

In a nutshell, it seems like the show got cut because viewership had drastically declined and wasn't worth continuing to produce. If there's additional drama behind the scenes, I haven't heard any indication of it yet.

Honestly I'm kind of surprised the twit network is still around at all. Their overall product has seemed really dated to me for a long time and it seems like the podcast advertising realm is a real shit show right now.
- TWiT is definitely in trouble. The last time I listened to them, one of their advertisements was for... doing advertisements on TWiT. They were also pushing their subscription every chance they got.
  
  Their whole network comes off as a bunch of boomers complaining about technology. I don't think they'll be around much longer.
  
  If I were an advertiser I wouldn't want to associate with Leo Laporte, to be frank. I think he has been lucky to get advertisers largely because of his radio days; if he hadn't had those ties to start with, I don't think he'd have gotten very far.
The new Android Faithful podcast may interest you.
