Welcome to Podrunner. I'm Steve Boyette, and coming up as an hour and six minutes of great music to help motivate and fine tune your run at 184 beats per minute.

It's called the Big Two-O. it's called that because unbelievably to me it

marks Podrunner's 20th birthday. It's also a jumpstart mix so it opens up with a high

energy track to help catapult you off the deck. After that it eases into a relatively

calm mix of styles and flavors, ramping up the energy

over the hour until you're being carried along by an absolute beast.

Then an extended two-track feel-good finish, and you are done with what I hope is an epic

workout.

I try to make sure these intros are never longer than about two minutes,

so you can get right to business,

so I hope you'll understand if this one is about a minute longer than usual.

There are very few podcasts that have been around for two decades,

and with Podrunner and Groove Electric, I have two of them.

They have changed my life, been literally the world's most popular podcasts, won awards, gotten media attention,

and given me experiences that I never would have had without them. But I am much more proud

of the effect that they've had on the lives of my listeners.

I have heard from y'all since 2006 about the incredible and inventive ways that you have used

these mixes and the intended and entirely unexpected ways they've helped you.

I'm also proud that almost from the start, Podrunner has existed entirely because of listener's support.

For 20 years, every contribution or purchase at Podrunner.com has kept Podrunner going,

kept all of us going.
