Welcome to a very special milestone on the Tri State Time Machine! In this celebratory 100th episode, I take us on a heartfelt journey through the origins, evolution, and future dreams of the podcast dedicated to the rich memories and lively stories of the Tri State area: West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio.

I reflects on starting the show with her beloved co-host W.G., cherishing the laughter, dynamic moments, and unforgettable tributes shared along the way. From humble beginnings and quirky childhood memories at Safety Town, to wild rides at Dreamland Pool and overcoming fears at Heritage Farm’s zipline, this episode digs into the heart and humor that built the show's community.

Whether you’re a long-time listener or new to the Time Machine, I reminisce about W.G.’s impact, the guests who shaped each episode, and the listeners who have made this podcast a true community project. Looking ahead, I promise even more local stories, fresh segments, and dream guests—reminding us that the journey of preserving Tri State memories is far from over. Happy 100th to the listeners, the guests, the memories, and Tri State Time Machine itself—here’s to keeping these stories alive, together!

If you have a memory you would want me to talk more about, just send me an email at TSTM@mail.com. Or post a comment on the Tri-State Machine FB Group page.
