I'm Steve Boyette and this is Podrunner.

Hey everybody, welcome to Podrunner and just over an hour of fantastic music

at 132 beats per minute for a mix called XV.

That's 15 enrollment numerals and it's called that because this mix

celebrates Podrunner's 15th birthday, which I sort of can't believe to tell you the truth.

There was nothing like Podrunner when it started in 2006 and at the time I just thought it was

going to be a series of music mixes for runners, period. 15 years on a whole lot of amazing stuff

later, it turns out that I don't want to brag about what Podrunner has done. I want to brag

about you and what you've done and what you've taught me because you've used Podrunner to make

your workouts more efficient as I intended and that's always made me feel pretty great.

But you've also used it in ways I never could have imagined. You've started running when you

never have exercised before. You've done all night coding sessions and carried mail. You turned

to it when lockdown kept you out of the gym. You lost weight on your doctor's advice, sometimes

a life-saving amount. You advanced in the military because you used it to help pass your PT.

You used the regular beats to work on patterned movement to help you deal with your Parkinson's

disease. You recovered your motivation and improved your health after injuries and surgeries

and heart attacks and chemo. And you used them for rowing and swimming and biking and stairmaster

and a ton of other things. And you told me about it. And besides telling me how you used Podrunner,

you told me how much it meant to you. How much it had helped you. You made suggestions for

improvements or new kinds of mixes. You supported them with donations and purchases. And you

taught me that you can't predict the effect your work might have on people. And you telling me

and your hard work have had a huge effect on me. So for Podrunner's 15th birthday,
