Good 'morrow ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to a very special episode of "The Black Tower Podcast!" As longtime listeners of 'the cast' will know, we are hitting our One Year Anniversary today! Literally, one year ago today the Black Tower Podcast launched its first episode with Andrew and Aaron. Now, a year later, we have achieved more than we thought possible. The podcast has 3 regular hosts, has brought about the inception of a second podcast (The One Power Podcast,) had an impressive array of Wheel of Time community guests and content creators, and delved into great topics all across Randland. We are so humbled by the opportunities that have arisen through this little podcast, are so proud of what we've been able to accomplish, and are so grateful for the reception the community has given us.

On this episode, you may notice that Josh is suspiciously missing. We do address the fact in the episode, but just to let everyone know, he is on an epic vacation with his family for his anniversary and will likely be missing for a couple of episodes. Anyone who only listens to us for Josh's lovely voice should skip the next few. We'll let you know when he's back!

We also have a challenge going on for Twitter. It would be amazing to see more of the community joining in the "Taste the Taint" challenge!

As always, if you liked what you heard, or thought we could have done better, let us know on any of our many platforms! We can be reached on Twitter at @TowerPodcast, via email at [email protected], and via our Discord at https://discord.gg/j9bfgnu. We're always happy to invite more to join us and, if you're feeling really fun, we'd love to have you join us on our Minecraft server, as well, at BTPMineCraft.myserver.gs

And, if you really like what we're doing, keep an eye out on our Patreon for changes being made, shortly. We are incredibly grateful to those who have supported us from the beginning, and we look forward to any who are interested in doing so in the future!

Thank you all. To another year!
