Description

The Phantom is now 90 years young! We had to put out a special podcast to celebrate. Come join us and let us celebrate together!

First of all, we put the call out to our listeners, our phriends, those who follow us on social media and a bunch of creators from around the world if they would like to send out a happy birthday wish video to the Phantom. Thanks to all of those that did so. We have collected them here. If you missed out, send through a comment or post on whatever platform you use, use a #Phantom hashtag and remind everyone of our character. 

Let us now swing around the world for those who wished the Phantom a happy 90th!

To finish off, we will then speculate a bit about the future—what we may expect in 5, 10, and, who knows, even the next 90 years.
