For this week’s episode of Beards, Booze, and Bacon: The Manual Podcast, the round-table — managing editor Nicole Raney, food and drink editor Sam Slaughter and host Greg Nibler — sit back and do some reflecting. Not on the state of the world’s population of dodo birds or how the polar ice caps are melting, but on the show itself.

With almost 100 episodes (!) in the proverbial bag, the gang thought it would be a great time to think back while also looking ahead. With some great things on the horizon starting with Episode 100 (hint: listen in, you’re not going to want to miss this), we’re giving you a replay of our 50th episode this week, where in we talk about our hometown of Portland. Joining Nicole, Greg, and friend of the show Jake Rossman is Jeff Miller, president and CEO of Travel Oregon.
