Hello and welcome to 10 Minute Podcasts, this is Mark Evans.

Firstly, let me say properly on the podcast a big thank you to Will Sassow, Tommy Blacha

and Chad Coulchin for all the laughs on 10 Minute Podcasts.

I don't think it's lost on any of the listeners just how cool it is that Will and the guys

have been doing this thing basically for free and providing entertainment for all this

while.

And through the diamonding, they've whittled it down to a lot of inside jokes and references

to the point where I have to say, as the handoff of this podcast to me approached, I don't

think outside of my immediate family, I told a single soul about me getting the podcast,

which is kind of crazy when you think about it.

I mean, it's just too hard to explain and I can't even really tell people now like, hey,

go check me out on this podcast that I'm hosting because just coming into this thing now,

I mean, who besides the diamond listeners would even get all the obscure references and jokes

and stuff.

But personally, that's what I love about TNP, so I'm just trying to pick this thing up,

write where I got it and keep that going.

I also just want to quickly thank so many of you that have written to tell me that you've

enjoyed my first two episodes that's very cool.

The 10 Minute Podcasts audience is a very smart and loyal, so the fact that so many of you

are getting the joke and laughing along with me really is great.

To that end, I think the community that will and the guys have built up over these years

that interactivity on Twitter, it's just so unique.
