Today is the sixth anniversary of the Renaissance Festival Podcast.  While technically, it wasn't the first podcast I created (the Cat Lovers Podcast began on May 1st of 2005), it still feels like my first podcast.  It's like some sort of young love, I guess–my First.

The anniversary show should be coming out in a couple days to celebrate our six years producing this podcast.  I'm amazed and delighted that it's still going strong.  I have a lot of great folk to thank for that.

• Kristen Roger was my first co-host.
• When I started burning out, Joe Haydu kept the show alive.
• Matt Ledder revived and reinvented the show after life caught up with Joe.
• Tony Artym is our latest hero providing news and managing the facebook page.
• John B. was integral in spreading the news about the podcast on various forums around the net.
• Stephen has compiled playlists for the show for couple years now.
• Farpoint Media has generously provided web hosting.
• Faire News has shared a lot of great news from faires around the nation.
• Shanon Smith is our newest team member, creating graphics for the show.
• And let's not forget ALL the Ren Fest Musicians who have kindly offered their music to be played on the show.

I can't tell you how many times people email me to tell me they love MY podcast.  While I started the show six years ago, it's no longer just mine.  It belongs to all those who've graciously been a part of it.  It belongs to YOU.  So thank you for listening to the show these past six years and 170 episodes.  I hope you'll be with us for another sixty years and 6000 episodes.
