Jeremy: In one of those weird cosmic things, episode 800 of Retronauts coincides almost perfectly with the 20th anniversary of our very first episode. That happened yesterday! But if you're listening in Hawaii, it might still be October 4 for you. That's pretty neat. Thanks, cosmos.

I could not have guessed when I assembled that first episode of Retronauts that the show would still be running two decades later. Yes, there have been a few production gaps, but that's 20 years! I honestly did not expect them to let us continue past episode five or so. Then again, I never got around to coming up with a better name for the show than the placeholder \"Retronauts\" moniker, so what do I know?

Retronauts began as something barely more than a whim, but over time it has become a great little community\u2014both of listeners and of hosts. And I pulled all of the currents hosts together for this one! It would have been nice to have been able to get former hosts from the 1UP era, like Scott Sharkey and Frank Cifaldi, as well. And mainstay guests like Chris Kohler, James Eldred, Henry Gilbert, the old Retronauts East contingent, and all those UK people Stuart keeps letting into the studio even though we keep telling the security guard not to admit them. But getting six people together for a podcast at once is tough enough! We remember them, though. Because Retronauts would not exist without all of those people.

And it would not exist without you! Yes, you. Your support, feedback, and participation in the show make it possible for us to keep things running, and to continue striving for improvement. So thank you for that! You're the best.
