One.Year. It's been one year since the most Average podcast hit the airwaves. The Earned Fun Average is celebrating their one-year anniversary with this special episode.

It's been such a fun ride during the last 52 episodes. From authors, radio play-by-play announcers, fans and others alike, we've had a ton of great guests.

We handed out the first ever Mendozas in eight categories and shouted out our guests in a fun parody song.

We appreciate all the love we've gotten over our first year podcasting and can't wait to bring you more Average over the next year.
