I love these photos of @jonbuda.com and me. 😆

Seven years ago, we began building @transistor.fm. Just two people with a dream. Last week, our entire team of six met up for our annual retreat.

Incredibly proud (and grateful) for what we've built together. ❤️

Jon and Justin looking at the camera, arm in arm.

Justin is lifting Jon up. Jon has a scared impression on his face

I think we're supposed to be wrestling in this photo?

Transistor is a remote team, so we get together once a year to spend time in person. This year we went to Banff and Canmore in Alberta!

We are a small (but mighty) team of six people: Justin, Jon, Helen, Jason, Michael, and Joshua.

Together, we serve over 34,000 podcasts on the platform!

Want to start a podcast, but don’t know what to talk about? Just share the journey you’re on.

You’re in the midst of your own “story arc;” what if you told that story?

It’s real, vulnerable, and human (all things people are looking for in a podcast).

Deeply saddened to hear this news. I can’t believe it – we were all just hanging out with him in Dallas. Todd was a pillar of the podcast industry, and passionate about keeping it open. He was also feisty and opinionated! I will miss him.

Just heartbreaking 💔

I know I've said it before, but I cannot get over how great it is that I can just make my own full webpages using @transistor.fm's podcast website builder.
Like I am in the process of making a page and not only can I add custom CSS in the page but also JavaScript! And it's FREE!

Quick update: I moved the podcast to a new host, thanks to my pals at The Retro Network.

It’s now on @transistor.fm, and y’all… I’ve migrated web content for a living. This is the smoothest move I’ve ever done. Wow.

Anywho, the website’s still at adventcalendar.house, but now it’s a bit shinier. 🤩
