Subscribe to the show: (Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, TuneIn). Already heard it once or twice? Please leave a short review here, and tell us which guests we should have on! It's hard to believe, but tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of HODINKEE Radio. On July 23, 2018, we launched this humble little podcast with three episodes, featuring guests Ben Clymer, Gary Shteyngart, and Rian Johnson. The positive response was overwhelming and since then we've recorded 50 full-length shows, nine bonus episodes (including daily dispatches from both SIHH and Baselworld), and a trailer. To say it's been an exciting year making this show would be a serious understatement.Last week, our incredible executive producer, Mr. Greyson Korhonen, and I ended up sitting down over a beer, talking about just that: how much awesomeness has been packed into the first year of HODINKEE Radio. We ended up going full-on "Glory Days," talking about our favorite moments from the first three-hundred-fifty-odd days of H Radio, and we thought it would be fun to share it with all of you right here. So, Grey got to work, cutting bits out of our first 50 shows, assembling a nice audio collage of what HODINKEE Radio is all about. If you've never listened, this is a perfect introduction, and if you're a weekly listener it should prove a fun trip down memory lane.Thank you again to everyone who has contributed to making this first year of HODINKEE Radio a success. We say it all the time, but we really couldn't do this without the enthusiasm and support from the HODINKEE community. We're extremely proud of what we accomplished in year one, and we're even more excited about what's to come in year two.We'd love to know what episodes and moments from the last year were your favorites. Please let us know down in the comments below and we can't wait to bring you a new-and-improved HODINKEE Radio in two weeks. Stay tuned! Wrist Check Here are a few of the coolest watches our guests have worn over our first year. If you want to see the rest, you'll just have to dig back through the archive (which isn't a bad idea anyway, if I may say so). Enjoy.
