just hit #1 on UK charts 🤯
vibe coded The Epstein Files podcast with Claude in a weekend and just crossed 100,000 downloads in its first week.
to put that in perspective:

the average podcast gets 141 downloads

The Epstein Files was mentioned on My First Million.

war desk is tracking the same growth as epstein files in the first 2 days. curious if we can hit 100k in seven days again
biggest realization so far: when the topic is best consumed live, a podcast can't compete with the live feed. the medium just isn't built for that
