My IRL buddy Stephen Hackett and my internet friend Myke Hurley officially announced their new podcast network Relay FM today. Here's how Myke and Stephen summarize the launch:

It makes sense for us to have a single home for all of our work; starting a network is the right decision for us. At launch, we are featuring four returning shows and one new one. We have lots of plans for the future, and can't wait to get to work making those dreams a reality.

I've been anticipating whatever would come next for these guys since they departed 5by5 in July and can't wait to see what the future holds for Relay FM. I'm a huge fan of independent creators and am so glad to see the fruit of Stephen and Myke's labor going public today. It's hard to believe that it was just June of 2013 when I interviewed Stephen about the transition of The 512 Podcast into The Prompt and now we'll have Connected in it's place. It's been amazing to watch the transformation and growth of my favorite subsection of podcasts and I can't wait to see what's coming next.
