I've listened to that podcast, and I understand having mixed feelings about it. I understand about depression and wanting to withdraw, and it's fine if he wants to do that. I just hope he's getting some help, and I understand people who care about him being concerned. By that I mean people who had an actual relationship, not simply fans.

I get what you're saying. Although to many it may seem inconceivable that someone so outgoing would choose to so completely cut himself off from everyone and everything he'd enjoyed, it's not inconceivable to me. It's not unusual for depression.
FYI, he says on today's podcast that next weeks will be the last one.
