Since mid-2018, The First Podcast has been hosted by Lars and a series of other co-hosts. Regime changes occurred in late 2018, fall 2020, and the beginning of 2021, remaining stable since then.
History
The show originally centered around the lives of main host Lars and his two co-hosts Alix (formerly Joe) and Alexis. After a few months, Alexis was an early drop-out due to a lack of spare time; Lars and Alix carried the podcast steadily for two years after that, with no changes.
In mid-2020, Alix decided to leave the show. Lars recruited several guest hosts in his place for the time being, eventually deciding on Amir (doplex) as his permanent replacement a few weeks later.
After having guest James (ManyKudos) on the podcast several times and finding him to be exceptionally compatible with the format, Lars and Amir brought him on board as the third co-host in January 2021.
