I got an email this morning from a listener of my MASH 4077 Podcast. He's been listening for a few years and loves it, he was emailing me to say "Thank you". It's always nice to get emails from listeners but this one hit me very hard, the reason he sent the email now is because he is dying from brain cancer and he's only 27, he's been fighting the good fight the past six years but this past year has not been good and he doesn't know how much longer he has. He wanted us (my co-host and I) to know how much he appreciated the podcast and how it always relaxed him and made him feel a lot better. He hopes he can fight long enough to hear our final episodes. When I read this I was in tears and blogging about it now brings me to tears... I have no words.
I have loved watching reactors on You Tube and listening to podcasts as they have brought me so much joy and entertainment over the years but I never really considered that people felt the same about me and my podcasts... until now.
I love creating podcasts, I've been doing it for over 14 years and plan to continue for as long as I can. To know that people look forward to new episodes, find them entertaining and find joy in them is amazingly wonderful and makes all the hard work and costs worth it.
