Welcome to the Potter's cast, where the world is our ball of clay. I'm your host, Paul Blaze.

Hey, be sure to check out our website, the potterscast.com. And after each one of our episodes,

you can go and check out our guests, and you'll see pictures of them and also of their work.

And if you could take just a moment, head over to iTunes and give us a five-star review and a positive comment there.

And that just helps us to further our impact and be able to make a bigger impact for the ceramic community.

it, you know, an A and a B. Hey, we're celebrating a lot of time together. We're celebrating a lot of time.

This is five years of work on this Potter's cast that you have listened to and that I have produced and that our guests have participated in.

So it's a very big deal that we've come this far.

So, man. And, you know, may I just say a big thank you?

I know it's not a huge deal to a lot of people about the standings of the Potterscast and iTunes.

But last week I did mention to you that we had reached the lofty heights of top podcasts
