Across the UK, across continental North America, and around the world, on the internet, by

webcast and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is edition 250 of the Unexplained.

While I can't believe I've just said those words, it seems like only yesterday that I

was sitting here recording edition one and back then I don't think I had much of a clue.

How to do all of this I was just feeling my way and I still am.

I've learned about recording techniques, I've learned about the things you like and don't.

I've learned who's controversial and who's not.

I suppose I've learned who I like over the years.

So many changes in your life and my life over this decade of course.

If you've followed me from the beginning and thank you if you have, you'll know that

I've lost my parents over those years.

That was hard to bear and I've been through some rotten experiences one way or another,

and kicks in the teeth professionally and some of the sunlit uplands as well.

But it's all part of the tapestry isn't it really that we weave as we walk along this

path that is our life.

And I'm still here.

I'm still standing and I'm still doing it and I'm still learning it.

The best broadcasters I've known over my lifetime are the ones who say you never stop learning.

So thank you for being part of that process whether you were there on edition one ten

years ago very nearly or whether you've only recently joined and have started listening

to the archive at the unexplained.tv.

Thank you to Adam at Creative Hotspot for all of his years of dedication and support.
