The Light Hearted podcast was launched in June 2019 to serve as a place for the exchange of information and ideas about lighthouses in the United States and around the world. Since then, there have been 200 numbered episodes, plus more than a dozen “special editions.” This episode celebrates episode 200 with comments from many guests who have appeared on the podcast previously.

I so adore lighthouses: I always have and shall forever!
Congrats on your 200 episodes of Lighthouse podcast. As an Oregon resident I would appreciate some coverage on west coast lighthouses. Keep the lights shining, Richard
Thanks for your comment! We featured Heceta Head in Oregon in episode 28, but we need to do more. It’s an incredibly beautiful coastline there.
