Well hello everyone!
Season 5 is off to a great start already (click HERE if you haven't listened to our first episode yet), but today we wanted to share the news that we've hired two new people to join our podcast team! It is thanks to the support that we get through our Buy Me a Coffee subscribers that we're able to bring some more help onboard for assistance with our podcast.
I sound a bit like a broken record here, but it's amazing to me that in less than 3 years we have managed to assemble a small staff to help with creating better podcast episodes for everyone. The growth is awesome, and we're so excited to see what new adventures we can embark on in this coming year and beyond. Now that our team has grown, we might just be unstoppable.
Let's introduce the newest members of the Once Upon a Coaster staff, shall we??
Rachel - Podcast Writer
Rachel joins our team as our main researcher and podcast writer, helping to create the episodes that you'll be listening to in season 5 and beyond. Rachel lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and loves to find old and classic carousels to ride.
Look for Rachel's work to premiere in the back half of season 5 - we can't wait for you to listen to all the stuff she's writing for our podcast this season and beyond.

Kelbe - Buy Me a Coffee Content Creator
Kelbe joins Once Upon a Coaster as a content creator for our BMAC page - that's right, you subscribers get him all to yourself on this page. Kelbe will be writing articles and more as we look to grow our BMAC offerings in the next year. Kelbe comes from Coos Bay, Oregon, and is our Pacific Time Zone expert when needed.
Our BMAC members are about to be a bit spoiled, honestly. Kelbe brings a great energy to our podcast, and we can't wait to share some of his work with you very soon. Look for his byline in the next few weeks on our BMAC page/emails that you receive.

The team we have assembled in the off season is nothing short of fantastic, and they compliment the staff we already have in place at Once Upon a Coaster with Matt serving as a guest host for episodes and Jackie working behind-the-scenes on episode accessibility. The entire team is passionate about roller coasters, and we are excited to bring you more content with season 5 and beyond.
Talk soon! We'll be sharing lots more in the coming weeks.
