Happy New Year 2018! As one year comes to a close, we charge forward into the new!
Happy new year 2018! I sit here, in the very spot as I did last year, at the very time I did last year, to write a happy new year post in the same manner that I did last year.
But, at the same time, so much has changed. RetroZap today is a vibrant site, with over 50 writers, artists and podcasters, publishing multiple high-quality articles every single day. We’ve become THE place for creators to produce work that goes deeper, looks farther, and moves beyond the noise. I need to thank them so much for their passion, their talent, and their amazing ability to have a community that brings people together, not divides them.
To our readers and listeners: thank you so much for supporting us every day, every month, every year. I would love to be able to say that we all wake up with boundless creative passion each and every day, but that just isn’t reality. You feedback means so much to us–it’s why we lose sleep and spend our time doing this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Now don’t go anywhere.
Happy New Year 2018: What’s Next
As I mentioned earlier, things are changing. Content is changing, and how people engage with content and media continues to change as well. I can safely say that RetroZap will not be the same by 2019, but in changing, we will be continuing with our never-ending commitment to reject the status quo, push forward, and always seek to bring new, independent ideas to pop culture.
There is A LOT int hr work right now, and a lot on the horizon for the site. Stay tuned!
Finally, one last massive THANK YOU to every reader, every listener, every visitor, every guest, every friend, and every supporter who’s been there with RetroZap along the way.
Happy New Year! Stay safe, be excellent to each other, and party on!
Joseph Tavano is the owner and editor in chief of RetroZap. Born just months before Luke found out who his father was, he has been fortunate to have had Star Wars in his life as long as he can remember. Growing up just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, he can remember substituting sticks for lightsabers and BMX bikes for speeders. He loves comics, retro games, vintage sci-fi paperbacks, and maps. Though an accomplished drummer, he doesn’t crave adventure (as much) any more, and prefers his old haunts north of Boston, Massachusetts, where he resides with his family. Buy him a glass of whiskey and he’ll return it in kind.
