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. check it out: https://epsteinfiles.fm
this whole claw saga is super nostalgic. reminds me of the energy of going to an eth conference and despite the price being in the shitter builders are showing up more motivated than ever. people don't care about the noise, they just want to build. when everything's pumping, everyone's a "builder" but this week, with prices tanking and chaos everywhere, the people who actually give a shit showed up anyway. that's what made being in crypto so fun and the timeline this week reminded me of that.
top 6 now can start seeing it above the fold. the road to top 1 continues
