Four years. More than 200 episodes. Countless conversations. And it all started with one microphone, a lot of nerves, and an idea to share the stories of people in our community.

In this special anniversary episode of the Hello Hello Podcast, Alyssa Rogers looks back at the journey that began on August 10, 2022, as the Rogers Radio Podcast and eventually became the show you know today as Hello Hello.

Alyssa shares how her love of podcasts inspired her to start one of her own, why she initially questioned whether anyone would want to listen, how she landed her first guests, and the completely unplanned way the words "Hello, Hello" became her signature opening.

Then, for the first time, longtime videographer Kenney steps out from behind the camera to talk about taking the podcast from audio to video, traveling across the region to tell stories on location, and what really goes into producing a new episode every single week.

From Rogers Radio to Hello Hello, the name, cameras, locations, and look of the show may have changed—but its purpose hasn't: getting to know the people around us, promoting our communities, and giving local people and organizations a platform to tell their stories.

Most importantly, this episode is a thank you to every guest, listener, viewer, business, organization, and community member who has been part of the last four years.

Here's to the next 200 episodes. ❤️
