A year ago, I hit publish on the first episode of Midnight Mystery Archive and had no idea what was going to happen next.

This week, the show crossed 10,000 downloads and the moment that made it feel genuinely real was in March, when Episode 1 of the Amy Bradley series became the most-listened-to episode in MMA's history.

In this brief anniversary episode, I reflect on what year one actually meant, what the listener community built, and what year two is going to look like.

Also, the hints have been out there, and we are approaching the launch of Echo 1953 is the first book in The Hollis Files. A mystery series set in present-day Michigan following Eli and Mari Hollis. Eli spent 25 years with the FBI before opening a private investigations firm with his wife Mari, a former investigative journalist. The case at the center of Echo 1953 involves Lena Monroe — a nursing student abducted through a basement window in the middle of the night while babysitting.

Thank you for being here for year one. Year two starts now.
