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 top 1% of all podcasts globally get around 5,000 downloads in their first 7 days. this did 100k. that's 20x the top 1% threshold.
the average podcast gets 141 downloads in its first 30 days. most spend 18+ months trying to crack 1,000 per episode. a lot never get there and there are 4.5 million podcasts out there right now.
no fancy studio. no production team. just Claude, a mac mini, and a weekend of focused work curating the right approach to this series.
still processing this one honestly.
