    Happy Anniversary to us!

    5 years ago today, we started Audioshark. I cannot believe we now have over 10,000 members and average over 1.2 million hits a month.

    I couldn’t have done it without Joe and Mark. My Brothers from another Mother! And of course, we couldn’t have accomplished what we have without all of you!

    Thank you!!!
