Welcome the 501st Legion Podcast!

Post by TKvanB »

Over the past two months, Members of the 501st Legion have (to date) produced 5 full-length entertaining and informative episodes of the 501st Legion Podcast available to everyone (public included) here: http://www.501st.com/podcast/

I highly reccommend the 501st Legion podcast to all Legion Members (new and old) as well as anyone who is interested in joining the Legion and anyone who is interested in who we are and what we do.

The special New Year's mini-cast hit the airwaves today (1/1/2008) and includes a message from our Legion Commanding Officer, Mark Fordham and New Years greetings from many units of the 501st Legion all around the world.

The podcasts are available for everyone to listen to and download.
Stories covered range from current events occuring in units all over the Legion to Legion humor.
The 501st Legion podcast home page offers show notes with links to pictures, videos and further information about many of the stories that are covered in each episode.
You can also leave comments about the episodes on the site and participate in trivia contests in order to win cool 501st Legion SWAG!
Even non-Legion Members can win the SWAG -- all you need to do is listen and produce the correct answer first!
