Wesley Rea generously donated his time and effort to produce our 200 episode celebration, painstakingly going through each episode of the Backlog Breakdown and stitching together its greatest moments to create a memorial that highlights what we've been able to accomplish thus far. But what went on behind the scenes of this behind the scenes episode? This week, Wes shares his process and his hopes for the episode and the future of the podcast.

Today marks 200 official episodes of the Backlog Breakdown! You may have only been listening for the past few episodes, or perhaps you've been with us since the beginning. Either way, we're marking this milestone achievement in the life of the show with a special look back at what we've accomplished and a few thoughts on what is to come.

Okay, so this is really only part of episode 200. But it's not done yet, and so you get the conversational pieces that will be re-formed into a complete episode 200 before releasing on Wednesday. Enjoy!
