Statistics show that most podcasts peter off in the first six weeks. We're now six MONTHS strong into ours, and it's only getting better (IMHO). Six months of a "Radiolab" and "This American Life" style show about the art and craft of cinema and filmmaking, delivered EVERY WEEK, has been quite a feat. Six months of stories that will inspire, encourage and/or just flat-out entertain. Whether you're a filmmaker, a photographer, or any other kind of artist, the themes and topics we explore will connect with you.

To celebrate this milestone, we're looking back at some of our favorite stories. Tuesday I shared a few of my favorite personal stories. Today, I'm sharing a few guest stories that have stood out to me:

• Sky City Haya producer Thom Weinland's funny discovery" about the "Wizard of Oz"
• Me and show regular JD get into one of our typical debates
• Celebrated spoken word artist Marshall Davis Jones is back with the funny story behind how he trained his voice and testing it out on John Leguizamo
• FilmRiot host Ryan Connolly shares how absolutely everything went wrong on his "U.F. Oh Yeah" film set
• Phillip Bloom offers filmmaking perspective
• Peabody award-winning filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon and I talk about women in film
• And award-winning wedding filmmaker Kevin Shahinian gives valuable insight about finding your style
