You're listening to episode 50 of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast.

You are listening to the Sustainable Minimalists Podcast, a show about living simply and

sustainably with your family. Here's your host,

Stephanie Safarian. Hello there and welcome back and thank you for joining me for

my 50th episode, Schmorgasbord Celebration.

And I'm calling it a Schmorgas Board Celebration

because number one, Schmorgasbord is the best word in the whole world and the second reason is because we have an

awful lot to celebrate. We're celebrating the 50th episode of this show. We're

celebrating a year of diligent sustainable minimalist

podcasting and perhaps most humbling we are celebrating 100,000 downloads.

I cannot believe my voice has been listened to a hundred thousand times.

That's nuts.

But here we are.

On today's show, we're going to do a couple things and I've organized the show into three acts.

Act one is a behind the scenes look at this podcast. I divulge what I'm trying to accomplish, I'm divulging

why I started it. I know I've mentioned little tidbits here and there throughout the last

49 episodes, but I'm going to get a little bit more personal

than I ever have before in Act 1.

In Act 2, you will hear some familiar voices.

That's because some of our favorite podcast guests

are back on the show to offer their best words of wisdom

for everyone looking to live more minimally, more sustainably, or more simply.
