Today marks the 5th anniversary of the founding of ComingAnarchy.com. We started this blog on September 29th, 2004 with a short barrage of posts. Since then we have posted 3411 times (including this one) and have had and amazing 24,612 comments. In the past year alone we have had nearly half a million visitors. Thank you all for your support.

To celebrate this event we decided to do something special. For the first time ever, we have made a podcast.

5th anniversary podcast invitation

Each of us sat down for a 10 minute interview in which we discuss our experiences writing at ComingAnarchy.com over the years. Our voices have been slightly distorted to protect our anonymity. Please listen below (be warned, it totals 43 minutes) or right click to download the file and add it to your music player.

Congratulations. I started reading Coming Anarchy almost three years ago, and have found the analysis and discussion to be consistently stimulating.

Listened to the podcast - nice stuff. I was hoping I would be able to hear how Chirol and Mungo got thrown into the mix though. Otherwise it was all good.

TG: I can answer that. Both had other blogs independently, which we liked and read. I asked Chirol to join in 2005; he said no the first time, but I kept pestering him until he said yes. I asked Munro-Ferguson to join in 2008; he said no the first time, but I kept pestering him until he said yes

@TDAXP: Checking them out now.

@Lex: Actually, "Rowdy Dick" was one of my choices, but got edited out for length. TE Lawrence would be a GREAT pick!

@All: Thanks for the congrats!

Also, thanks to the following who posted congrats on their own sites:
