Four more beers
Four years ago, four guys got together in a room in Wolverhampton and recorded the first episode of LugRadio. Since then, we’ve started running a yearly “rock conference” event in the UK, LugRadio Live, we’ve taken LugRadio Live international with the first US event, we’ve won an award for marketing, we’ve changed two of the presenters and then changed one of the replacements, we’ve gone to Guadec and PyCon and Guadec again, we’ve done nearly a hundred episodes, we were crowned “best open source podcast” by Linux Format, and we’ve built up a really cool community.
Four years, eh? I’m pretty proud of what we’ve done with the show. Thanks, all of you who listen and send in emails and come to LugRadio Live and post on the forums and hang around in #lugradio and make your own podcast about us and help us out with sysadmin stuff and run a mirror and talk about the show and enter competitions and laugh at the show on the bus. Here’s to four more.
Congrats, Aq. I’ve been listening since just after Ade started and it’s been a fortnightly ritual to walk down the street stifling laughs and muttering “beard” ever since.

Cheers, Joe — it’s good to hear, that sort of thing :-)

Just 4 years? Fucking hell it seems a lifetime ago. Glad you see you are still enjoying it ;) I’d rather nobody had a fucking clue who I was or what I thought and found the whole ‘having fans’ thing really fucking scary.
