Episode notes

I never wanted to set goals for the show because i thought that would make it less fun. We've doubled our audience base every year that we've done the show. When you're measuring by number of people who listen to each episode in the first 90 days, the total audience at this point who listens in any given month is about 250 thousand. But if you literally measure by like, how many people listen to an average episode, that number has doubled every year for seven years.
