Thank you so much for supporting us for 50 episodes! As a way to celebrate our 50th episode, we put together a special edition of the Columbus Cast exclusively for your ears about 50 amazing reasons why we love this city. We decided that Columbus is the "Trader Joe's" of cities, because it's not too big, there are just the right amount of choices to make here, it's not too expensive, and it's really trendy. Thanks to our friends at Platform Brewing for helping us get all the way to 50.
