#200: Listen to This While Saying Goodbye

Well, we've arrived at the final episode of Good People, Cool Things. Since this show has always been about featuring good people doing cool things (you know, like the name implies), I wanted to celebrate this milestone of 200 episodes and a successful podcast experience with clips from ten of my favorite conversations across the past four-plus years.

You can always catch episodes and see other updates right here on the site. Thank you to all of the guests who have taken the time to chat, to Sounder.fm and RSS.com for hosting the show over the years. Most importantly, thanks to you for listening, sharing kind comments, and making this one heck of a ride.
