Episode 94 Overview

TheChocolateLife celebrated its 17th anniversary on January 16th, 2025.

In this episode of #PodSaveChocolate I will be revisiting the history of TheChocolateLife beginning in 2001 with chocophile.com, the 2007 inflection point in 2007 around the time of the publication of Discover Chocolate, and the transition from a blog to a community back to a blog to adding back in community features.
