As 2019 comes to an end and I look back at the 50+ episodes and videos we\u2019ve published this year, I think heavily on a sense of community. You see, Priority One Podcast is nothing without it. For nearly 9 years now, this podcast has been produced by its community.    A community of talented, passionate, and dedicated volunteers who share a love for a franchise that has lasted for over 50 years. Each member of this team is an artist that donate their time and talents so that we can continue to be a small part of the Star Trek Universe.     You see, outside of this podcast I consider myself to be a professional singing-actor --- a theatrical artist who has spent years developing my craft so that I can earn a buck or two singing a song and doing a dance whenever the opportunity arises. I know \u2013 all too well \u2013 the value of my craft\u2026 and the craft that our writers, graphic artists, audio\/video editors, and hosts contribute is no less valuable.    And yet. Much like community theatre, the Priority One Podcast team comes together to produce this show not because we want something in return\u2026 but, because this is our labor of love. I repeat this often on our show because I think it\u2019s important\u2026. NO ONE on this team takes home a single dime\u2026 not from our generous patrons \u2013 not from our sponsors. The financial support we receive goes directly into the costs of producing the content you\u2019ve come to expect each and every week\u2026 Equipment for mobile recording at conventions\u2026 livestreaming\u2026 editing software\u2026 some travel expenses\u2026 hosting services for the production\u2026 the list goes on. Because of the support of loyal patrons and the occasional sponsorship, we seldom dig into our own pockets in addition to the hours we spend each week producing this show.  ","author_name":"Priority One: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/priorityonepodcast.com","html":"
