Today The Bearded Trio celebrates it's fifth year on the internet. I just want to say thank you to all the contributors and especially our visitors and loyal readers over these five years. The website goes from strength to strength with more and more visitors checking us out.
I started the site back in April 2009 as I wanted to celebrate my fandom for Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and John Williams. My aim was to post an article every day and I don't think a day has been missed since. The website has steadily seen it's visitor count grow month by month and with the joining of a Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and a Pinterest page has seen it grow even more. Now dipping toes into the podcast avenue thanks to Coffee With Kenobi, the site is going from strength to strength. With Lisa Dullard, Dan Zehr, Cory Clubb, Rebecca Benjamin, Paul Baghurst, Chris Hewer and Rachel Wainfur all contributing to the content which in turn has seen The Bearded Trio become, (I hope) a reliable source for all the latest news on Spielberg, John Williams and George Lucas. We adopt a no-negative post approach, which means we don't just post an article that has a main aim of running something down. This site is a celebration of the big three and their amazing work. I hope it is a kind of thank you.
Here's some of our highlights over the past five years.
