SITE NEWS – Ranger Command Turns 5!

Five years ago today, Ranger Command Power Hour launched the first episode of the podcast.

When A.P., Zach and myself released the first episode, we couldn’t imagine what type of response we would get or how the podcast would be received. Since 2014 we’ve recorded, edited and produced over 224 hours of audio content. That’s over 9 days.

Yes, it’s a lot of hard work… sleepless Fridays, technical difficulties and sometimes a bit of frustration. Hearing comments from our friends, listeners and supporters makes it all worth it. To hear that you listen to us on the go; through commutes, jogs, work days and cleaning your house – it’s why we keep going.

I want to thank my co-hosts, my patient and supporting wife, my friends who have been guest co-hosts, actors and those involved on the Power Rangers brand that took the time our of their schedules to be on our podcast. And for the reasons I stated above, to anyone who has listened to the show. From long time listeners to people just discovering our show – you are amazing.

As Power Rangers enters a new era with Hasbro, we will continue to give you the show you want to listen to. Your feedback is important to us – we have a listener survey, contact form and we always respond on social media. Topic ideas, Questions from Ranger Nation, Answers from Ranger Nation – they help us in making the show what it is.

If you like the show, please consider giving us a review on iTunes or PodChaser. These really help us in letting other people decide if they want to listen. We also have a Patreon, but I think we plugged that enough in Episode 132 to last the next decade…

On Saturday, we release the edited version of our 5th Anniversary Livestream (Episode 133). I plan to include a couple of bonus audio clips and edit it like I do with every episode. On Sunday we are going to release another Extra Episode.

So… once again, thank you. Here’s to the future!
