Welcome to Ranger Command Power Hour’s BOLT BITES article series! BOLT BITES is a semi-monthly to monthly summary of all the news happening for Power Rangers merchandise, fan works, entertainment and other news.

And now onto January 2025’s BOLT BITES.

11 YEARS

Today, January 25th, 2025, Ranger Command Power Hour celebrates the eleventh anniversary of the release of the first episode of the podcast.

I (Eric) just want to thank all of our listeners, supporters and friends of the show for sticking with the site and podcast, especially over the past couple of years. The back half of last year was incredibly draining and busy both personally and professionally. This affected the release of episodes of the podcast since family will always take first priority in my life.

The plan for the future remains the same as I’ve stated on social media and Patreon. Extra Episodes will end with Extra Episode 100 and newer episodes of the podcast will come out when they come out as time and news permits. Right now, the only new stories being told are from the comics, specifically the new series Power Rangers Prime from BOOM! Studios. Future podcast episodes will focus on the comics with interviews and discussions from the Ranger Command Comic Squadron.

Thanks again and here’s to the new year!
