Episode 200

Taking a Victory Lap with Episode 200!

Over four years have passed since the first three episodes of Excelsior Journeys went live in October 2018, and this week producer & host George Sirois takes his victory lap with Episode 200! Joining him on the show is author, video podcaster, and friend Bethanie DeVors, and highlights from this look back over the previous 199 episodes include questions asked and answered about getting guests for your podcasts (take notes), keeping the enthusiasm going after so many weeks, the joy that comes with an unexpected offer to assist with getting all episodes listed on IMDb, and shout-outs to many of the guests and friends that accepted offers to be on this podcast.

On a personal note, I want to thank all of you who have taken the time to listen to at least one episode of Excelsior Journeys. It means so much to me and I hope I can continue to offer some quality entertainment for you in the weeks, months, and years to come.

The Excelsior Journeys podcast exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success. It is very important to celebrate those voices as much as possible to not only provide encouragement to up-and-coming talent, but to say thank you to the established men & women for inspiring the current generation of artists.
