Recently had to fix some images on some of the older articles on my #history blog @EPIKFAILSdotcom and came across a few photoshopped memes I was really proud of 😊

I randomly decided to make a #Bingo card with all of our pod networks shows *and* some of our closest friends and allies in "indie podcasting"! Which shows have you listened to?

Today is the 20-year anniversary of Badass of the Week. It all started with a silly one-paragraph fan post about Darth Vader that I typed in Notepad and posted on my geocities site back in April 2004, and since then I've written thousands of articles and published over a dozen books, which have been translated into multiple languages and sold literally hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide. It's pretty insane. Thank you all so much for such an awesome ride. Without your support over the years, none of this would have been possible.

But the work continues. Right now we are putting out new episodes of our podcast, Badass of the Week, every single week, and we're going to be bringing some new stuff to Patreon very soon as well. I really hope you guys will check out the show.

Anyway, thanks again for everything. You guys are amazing. And I'll see you next year when Badass of the Week is old enough to buy a beer at a bar in the United States.
