In some ways, I feel like I am starting my podcast from scratch. Because, over the last year, I produced fewer episodes than any other year since I started producing podcasts in 2020, by a lot. But the reality is I am not starting from scratch. Today I saw that POD OF JAKE has more than 100,000 all-time plays. So really, I am starting from 1 (hundred thousand). I am excited about working towards n, whatever n may be. I love having interesting conversations with interesting people and sharing them with the world for anyone to listen any time, from now through the rest of history, for free. It can be discouraging when you see other podcasters seemingly blow up overnight and have orders of magnitude larger audience numbers, monetize their hobby, etc., but most "overnight successes" are not overnight successes anyway, and even if someone gets lucky, who cares. I'd like to get back to podcasting for the sake of podcasting, because I enjoy it, and I know some others will too. Thank you for listening. Go subscribe.
