Three, two, one.

Hello and welcome to this day, a history podcast from Radiotopia.

My name is Jody Avergan.

This day, we are marking five years of doing this show, which started in March of 2020, a very normal time in America and the world.

Here we are at another very normal time. Nicole, here is always, Nicole Hammer of Vanderbilt

and Kelly Carter Jackson of Wellesley. Hello there, and happy five years of this day.

Hello there. Five years. I remember us hiding out in our closets and recording the first few episodes.

And look at how far we've come. I'm still in a closet. You're in a hotel. I know. I know. I'll never forget. I mean, I can never forget this day because the day my daughter was born, March 12th of 2020 is like the day the world shut down. So five years to me always feels pretty special. But yeah. Yeah. And look, we're doing this as part of our some Sunday context series,

which are these Sunday conversations. We're trying to connect history to the present. And we're

also doing this on YouTube. So shout out to everyone watching on YouTube. This is also a little

bit of a celebration. You know, we don't have to run through too many of the stats and so forth.

But we've done 755 episodes.

We've done every year since 1776.

We've done this one episode and hit a few even before then.

I think the last time I checked, I haven't run the stats in like six months or so, but definitely the 60s is the most covered decade.

We've changed the name of the show once.

That was not that.

We have this exact same music and we get emails from time to time and got a few as I put a call out for any questions and comments around the fifth anniversary.

People ask about the music

all the time. So our theme music is by Teen Days. This guy in Vancouver who writes great music.

Shout out to him and you can actually download the theme song on our website, this daypod.com.

So go check that out if you want the theme song. We're also looking forward. There's a lot more on the way.
