The Road to 200 Begins

Every journey starts somewhere — and for The Back of the Pack Podcast, that “somewhere” involved closet recording, clunky editing, and the hope that maybe someone out there would listen. In this kickoff to our Road to 200 series, we rewind all the way back to episode one and share how the show began, what inspired it, and the hilarious stumbles along the way. From awkward first recordings to the surprising messages that made it all worth it, this episode is a love letter to starting messy and sticking with it. We talk about the spark that lit the mic, the early listeners who gave us a reason to keep going, and the milestones that built the foundation for nearly 200 episodes of running community goodness. Whether you've been here since day one or just found us last week, this episode will remind you how far we’ve come — together. Hit play, take a jog down memory lane, and help us kick off the countdown to 200. Spoiler: we’re just getting started.
