1
\n00:00:13,280 –> 00:00:14,680
\nWelcome to good christelphian
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:14,680 –> 00:00:17,760
\nI’m Lee.
\nHey everybody, this is a pretty <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:17,760 –> 00:00:21,560
\nfunny episode, but we are
\nrunning the recap special <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,560 –> 00:00:24,240
\nepisode for episode 300 of Good
\nChristelphian talks. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:24,240 –> 00:00:28,960
\nSo I’m here with my old friends
\nJason and Chris and my still old<\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:28,960 –> 00:00:31,640
\nfriend but from across the
\ncountry brother Brian. <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,640 –> 00:00:33,960
\nHow are you guys all doing I’m.
\nGood, I’m good. <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:34,280 –> 00:00:36,840
\nStoked to be here.
\nWe decided to release this <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:36,840 –> 00:00:39,000
\nseparately from the actual
\nepisode 300. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:39,280 –> 00:00:41,800
\nWe recognize how the show is
\ndoing so far. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:41,800 –> 00:00:44,720
\nPull the curtain back a little
\nbit to reveal some of the magic.<\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:45,920 –> 00:00:49,120
\nNot a lot of magic.
\nI’ve I’ve got an opening <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:49,120 –> 00:00:52,000
\nquestion.
\nSo who was it that put the idea <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:52,000 –> 00:00:54,840
\nin you and Chris’s head?
\nLike was there a conversation <\/p>\n

15
\n00:00:54,840 –> 00:00:57,000
\nwith somebody?
\nLike what started the actual <\/p>\n

16
\n00:00:57,000 –> 00:01:00,480
\npodcast?
\nSo at the men’s camp out, which <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:00,480 –> 00:01:03,000
\nis that the Southern California
\nmen’s camp out, we do a kind of <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:03,000 –> 00:01:06,200
\na men’s retreat in the spring.
\nThere’s a conversation which <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:06,200 –> 00:01:08,720
\nwould have been what we figured
\nit out, Chris, I think it was <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:08,720 –> 00:01:15,560
\nMay or June of of 2018, right?
\nAnd in that conversation was me <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:15,680 –> 00:01:19,560
\nand Chris and brother Andrew
\nStiles, who runs Christopher <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:19,560 –> 00:01:23,040
\nbibletalks.com, which used to be
\nlivoniatapes.com. <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:23,160 –> 00:01:26,840
\nAnd basically, I don’t, I don’t
\nthink Chris and I don’t have <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:26,840 –> 00:01:29,800
\nlike a clear idea on whose idea
\nwas to specifically start a <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:29,800 –> 00:01:31,840
\npodcast.
\nBut it was kind of a combination<\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:31,840 –> 00:01:35,560
\nof in the conversation, it came
\nout that I’m, I am to this day <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:35,560 –> 00:01:38,600
\nstill a huge podcast consumer.
\nIt’s just the specific kind of <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:38,600 –> 00:01:41,640
\nmedia that I listen to.
\nI have a long commute kind of <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:41,640 –> 00:01:44,280
\ntalking about how I think the
\nbasic premise of the show, why <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:44,280 –> 00:01:47,280
\nwe call it good yourself and
\ntalks is if ever someone would <\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:47,320 –> 00:01:50,000
\ne-mail me, And I think this is
\nsame, the same for a lot of <\/p>\n

32
\n00:01:50,000 –> 00:01:51,960
\npeople.
\nIf I ever got an e-mail that was<\/p>\n

33
\n00:01:51,960 –> 00:01:55,840
\nlike, Hey, listen to this talk,
\nit’s good, then I would like <\/p>\n

34
\n00:01:55,840 –> 00:01:59,360
\n100% right.
\nAnd while a lot of talks in our <\/p>\n

35
\n00:01:59,360 –> 00:02:02,240
\ncommunity are good, it was it
\ntook the specific <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:02,240 –> 00:02:05,680
\nrecommendation, I think, and
\nthen the idea of making a <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:05,680 –> 00:02:09,199
\npodcast that was just a
\nsuggested weekly episode that <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:09,199 –> 00:02:12,400
\nwas born in that conversation.
\nThe conversation started because<\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:12,400 –> 00:02:15,720
\nyou were curious to ask Andrew
\nwhat are the most talks that he <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:15,720 –> 00:02:19,480
\nhad on his website.
\nOh, then I think we had gone, we<\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:19,480 –> 00:02:22,760
\nwent down the rabbit hole of
\nwhat’s the best way to get stuff<\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:22,760 –> 00:02:24,840
\nfrom the website to be able to
\nlisten to it. <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:25,280 –> 00:02:27,040
\nWe were brainstorming
\noriginally, like how do we just <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:27,040 –> 00:02:30,240
\nload it into a podcast?
\nAnd then at one point Andrew <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:30,240 –> 00:02:32,240
\ntalked about that he had tried
\nto do that on a site at one <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:32,240 –> 00:02:34,680
\npoint, it’s making a podcast
\nfeed, but he didn’t know how to <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:34,680 –> 00:02:37,960
\ndecide what goes on there.
\nAnd at one point one of us was <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:37,960 –> 00:02:41,080
\nlike, well, we, we need a way to
\nmake a recommended feed and we <\/p>\n

49
\n00:02:41,080 –> 00:02:44,320
\njust have a podcast for everyone
\nelse because you and I can <\/p>\n

50
\n00:02:44,320 –> 00:02:46,720
\nfigure out how to take audio
\nfiles and loaded onto a podcast <\/p>\n

51
\n00:02:46,720 –> 00:02:50,960
\nplayer, but not everybody can.
\nSo we’re like, we need to find a<\/p>\n

52
\n00:02:50,960 –> 00:02:53,440
\nway to make this easier for
\npeople without it involving us, <\/p>\n

53
\n00:02:53,520 –> 00:02:57,160
\neach individual person, how to
\nhow to create your own custom <\/p>\n

54
\n00:02:57,160 –> 00:02:58,640
\npodcast.
\nAnd it’s like, we should just do<\/p>\n

55
\n00:02:58,640 –> 00:02:59,840
\nit.
\nAnd it should be like good <\/p>\n

56
\n00:02:59,840 –> 00:03:01,920
\nChristopian talks.
\nI think you literally threw the <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:01,920 –> 00:03:03,960
\nname out.
\nIt’s like that was like the <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:03,960 –> 00:03:05,840
\nbrainstorming project idea and
\nit just. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:05,840 –> 00:03:08,520
\nStuck.
\nThe idea being that it’s not <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:08,520 –> 00:03:10,720
\nlike we’re measuring the quality
\nor value of a talk. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:10,720 –> 00:03:13,600
\nBut when we say a talk is good
\nbut not, then people will listen<\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:13,600 –> 00:03:16,320
\nto it, yeah.
\nI just want to. <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:16,320 –> 00:03:22,240
\nI think it’s funny that I was
\nthere and I did not get involved<\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:22,240 –> 00:03:26,320
\nfor years.
\nI was there when like this was <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:26,320 –> 00:03:29,800
\nall happening and I just, it was
\nlike it just didn’t come <\/p>\n

66
\n00:03:29,800 –> 00:03:32,880
\ntogether.
\nNot that you’re not busy. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:03:33,400 –> 00:03:35,800
\nI think we, Chris and I handled
\nit obviously, and I’m so <\/p>\n

68
\n00:03:35,800 –> 00:03:39,120
\nthankful that now we’re at as as
\nfar as the size of the quote, UN<\/p>\n

69
\n00:03:39,120 –> 00:03:42,760
\nquote organization, there’s four
\nhosts and supporting us and it’s<\/p>\n

70
\n00:03:42,760 –> 00:03:44,800
\nall entirely volunteer,
\nobviously. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:03:45,320 –> 00:03:50,960
\nBut for the first couple years
\nit was just Chris and I and and <\/p>\n

72
\n00:03:50,960 –> 00:03:52,960
\nthat’s, that’s still with Chris
\ndoing most of the work. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:03:52,960 –> 00:03:54,880
\nI mean, that’s something that I
\ndo think is worth saying that <\/p>\n

74
\n00:03:54,880 –> 00:03:58,560
\nChris does all, almost all the
\nback end work for this. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:03:58,600 –> 00:04:02,560
\nAnd, and I think it just grew as
\npart of a necessity because the <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:02,600 –> 00:04:04,800
\ndemand was so big.
\nAnd I think that’s what I want <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:04,800 –> 00:04:06,920
\nto talk about is we’re going to
\nsay some of the numbers. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:06,920 –> 00:04:08,640
\nWe’re not going to go crazy on
\nthis. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:09,040 –> 00:04:14,120
\nThis is not a matter of pride in
\nin my heart, it’s really just a <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:14,120 –> 00:04:16,640
\nmatter of like, this is clearly
\nsomething that people wanted and<\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:16,640 –> 00:04:18,600
\npeople are using, which I’m very
\nthankful for. <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:19,560 –> 00:04:22,000
\nIt was a good idea.
\nWhoever’s idea it was, it was a <\/p>\n

83
\n00:04:22,000 –> 00:04:23,880
\nreally good idea.
\nYeah, I agree. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:04:23,880 –> 00:04:25,840
\nIt’s definitely been one of
\nthose blessed things. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:04:26,560 –> 00:04:29,360
\nYeah, so.
\nSpeaking of how big it’s become,<\/p>\n

86
\n00:04:29,760 –> 00:04:32,600
\nhow many different speakers have
\nyou guys been able to cover so <\/p>\n

87
\n00:04:32,600 –> 00:04:36,640
\nfar?
\nWell, as of as of June 2nd, we <\/p>\n

88
\n00:04:36,640 –> 00:04:40,880
\nhave 188 different speakers,
\nwhich is pretty crazy. <\/p>\n

89
\n00:04:41,200 –> 00:04:44,720
\nIt’s still our our listenership
\nis still mostly in Australia. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:04:44,720 –> 00:04:46,680
\nSo thank you to our Australian
\nlisteners. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:04:46,720 –> 00:04:50,440
\nThey are the leading kind of
\ncountry as far as listenership <\/p>\n

92
\n00:04:50,440 –> 00:04:52,520
\nand downloads.
\nChris, you want to read some <\/p>\n

93
\n00:04:52,520 –> 00:04:54,040
\nmore of these numbers that are
\ninteresting to? <\/p>\n

94
\n00:04:54,800 –> 00:04:56,640
\nYou I do think it’s a little
\nfunny when we’re talking about <\/p>\n

95
\n00:04:56,640 –> 00:05:00,840
\nall the different speakers that
\nJason is tied with brother Harry<\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:00,840 –> 00:05:02,480
\nKennett as being on the podcast
\nthe most. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:02,480 –> 00:05:04,680
\nThat’s not including all of his
\ntimes as a as a host. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:04,880 –> 00:05:08,400
\nSo bringing in them the MVP to
\nto introduce talks. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:05:08,400 –> 00:05:14,120
\nSo that’s always really fun.
\nI think it was more a conspiracy<\/p>\n

100
\n00:05:14,120 –> 00:05:16,480
\nbehind the scenes to slow down
\nhis momentum. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:05:17,880 –> 00:05:21,080
\nSo once he, yeah, once he hit
\nseven to tie it Harry, where <\/p>\n

102
\n00:05:21,080 –> 00:05:23,080
\nit’s like, all right, there has
\nto be a clause in here <\/p>\n

103
\n00:05:23,080 –> 00:05:25,880
\nsomewhere.
\nI started tracking the different<\/p>\n

104
\n00:05:25,880 –> 00:05:29,200
\nspeakers mainly just so that I
\ncould be aware of what had and <\/p>\n

105
\n00:05:29,200 –> 00:05:31,120
\nwhat had not been covered in the
\nrecommendations. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:05:31,120 –> 00:05:34,240
\nBecause I’m, I remember when I
\njumped in, we had like a multi <\/p>\n

107
\n00:05:34,240 –> 00:05:36,400
\nyear deep backlog to dig
\nthrough. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:05:36,840 –> 00:05:40,400
\nSo I was trying to just track on
\nmy own, make sure that we’ve <\/p>\n

109
\n00:05:40,400 –> 00:05:43,280
\nbeen getting through the list
\nbit by bit by bit. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:05:43,520 –> 00:05:45,880
\nAnd I started noticing a trend
\nthat there are certain speakers <\/p>\n

111
\n00:05:45,880 –> 00:05:49,800
\nthat were really getting pushed.
\nAnd I started color coding it. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:05:49,800 –> 00:05:51,800
\nAnd that’s kind of how we’ve
\nbeen able to now figure out that<\/p>\n

113
\n00:05:51,800 –> 00:05:56,360
\nwe have had featured over 300
\nepisodes, 188 different <\/p>\n

114
\n00:05:56,360 –> 00:05:59,440
\nspeakers.
\nBut if you’re asking someone, <\/p>\n

115
\n00:05:59,480 –> 00:06:02,160
\noh, like what’s that Jason
\nHensley episode or the Harry <\/p>\n

116
\n00:06:02,160 –> 00:06:05,600
\nTennant episode, it gets harder
\nto narrow down because now that <\/p>\n

117
\n00:06:05,680 –> 00:06:09,320
\nthe two of them, we’ve run seven
\ndifferent episodes from the two <\/p>\n

118
\n00:06:09,320 –> 00:06:12,840
\nof these brothers.
\nAnd then the next tier down from<\/p>\n

119
\n00:06:12,840 –> 00:06:15,200
\nthere, we’ve got a slew of
\nbrothers that have been featured<\/p>\n

120
\n00:06:15,200 –> 00:06:17,960
\nfive times.
\nSo if you feel like you’ve heard<\/p>\n

121
\n00:06:17,960 –> 00:06:21,520
\na lot of talk from them, we’ve
\nhad a lot of Tim Badger talks, <\/p>\n

122
\n00:06:22,040 –> 00:06:25,680
\nRodger Lewis, Nathan Lewis,
\nbrother Jim Styles. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:06:25,680 –> 00:06:28,760
\nAnd then now with this episode
\n300, it’ll be Bob Lloyd’s fifth <\/p>\n

124
\n00:06:28,800 –> 00:06:31,480
\nepisode as well.
\nI think the other thing that <\/p>\n

125
\n00:06:31,480 –> 00:06:34,040
\njumped out at me when you’re
\nasking about the, the numbers <\/p>\n

126
\n00:06:34,120 –> 00:06:37,160
\nother than that one that really
\njumped out to me is this past <\/p>\n

127
\n00:06:37,160 –> 00:06:41,280
\nyear we were able to get it set
\nup to have a YouTube channel <\/p>\n

128
\n00:06:41,280 –> 00:06:44,800
\nwhere all the talks from the
\npodcast are going on YouTube <\/p>\n

129
\n00:06:44,800 –> 00:06:48,080
\nnow.
\nAnd that has taken off in some <\/p>\n

130
\n00:06:48,080 –> 00:06:50,280
\nways even faster than the
\noriginal podcast did. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:06:50,520 –> 00:06:53,200
\nSo there, that’s another one of
\nthose where there is a demand <\/p>\n

132
\n00:06:53,880 –> 00:06:56,560
\nand it’s, it’s really
\ninteresting getting the updates <\/p>\n

133
\n00:06:56,560 –> 00:07:00,280
\nwhere still like 50% of the
\npeople that watch the videos <\/p>\n

134
\n00:07:00,280 –> 00:07:01,640
\naren’t people that are
\nsubscribed. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:07:02,600 –> 00:07:05,280
\nWe have like 500 subscribers.
\nSo it’s not super big compared <\/p>\n

136
\n00:07:05,280 –> 00:07:07,760
\nto the number of people that’s
\nthe estimated audience for the <\/p>\n

137
\n00:07:07,760 –> 00:07:12,760
\npodcast itself.
\nBut over 30 days, it’s like 400 <\/p>\n

138
\n00:07:12,760 –> 00:07:17,280
\nhours that people are watching
\nthe videos and 50% of that are <\/p>\n

139
\n00:07:17,280 –> 00:07:19,200
\nnot people that are subscribed.
\nIt’s one of the advantages of <\/p>\n

140
\n00:07:19,200 –> 00:07:22,400
\nthe the YouTube algorithm is it
\njust gets introduced to people <\/p>\n

141
\n00:07:22,400 –> 00:07:25,040
\nthat might be interested in the
\ntopic, which is a totally <\/p>\n

142
\n00:07:25,040 –> 00:07:29,880
\ndifferent way of doing reach
\nthan how podcasts spread, which <\/p>\n

143
\n00:07:29,880 –> 00:07:32,440
\nwas I, I think has been kind of
\ninteresting to see because <\/p>\n

144
\n00:07:32,560 –> 00:07:34,880
\nthere’s been more comments and
\npeople commenting on the YouTube<\/p>\n

145
\n00:07:34,880 –> 00:07:37,960
\nchannel asking questions and
\nthings in in various places. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:07:38,360 –> 00:07:41,000
\nI, I would be surprised if there
\nare people that listen to the <\/p>\n

147
\n00:07:41,000 –> 00:07:43,760
\npodcast and watch it on YouTube.
\nSo it’s really, it’s just kind <\/p>\n

148
\n00:07:43,760 –> 00:07:46,480
\nof entirely different audience.
\nAnd it’s interesting that I <\/p>\n

149
\n00:07:46,480 –> 00:07:48,120
\ndidn’t know that number, that
\ndouble kind of. <\/p>\n

150
\n00:07:48,640 –> 00:07:52,520
\nSo there’s about 1000 people
\nthat watch slash listen on <\/p>\n

151
\n00:07:52,520 –> 00:07:57,640
\nYouTube wrote to 630,000
\nindividual episode plays. <\/p>\n

152
\n00:07:58,960 –> 00:08:00,840
\nCan’t wait for a million at some
\npoint. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:08:00,880 –> 00:08:03,440
\nAnd I don’t we didn’t put the
\nnumbers on our on our Google doc<\/p>\n

154
\n00:08:03,440 –> 00:08:05,800
\nhere, but there’s definitely a
\ncouple episodes that are above <\/p>\n

155
\n00:08:05,800 –> 00:08:09,280
\n3000 individual listens, which
\nis pretty amazing to me, <\/p>\n

156
\n00:08:09,280 –> 00:08:11,120
\nespecially if you consider the
\namount of English speaking <\/p>\n

157
\n00:08:11,120 –> 00:08:14,960
\nChristadelphians in the world.
\nOur most popular episode ever is<\/p>\n

158
\n00:08:14,960 –> 00:08:19,080
\n4200 Listens.
\nOh wow, that’s a large number. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:08:19,240 –> 00:08:23,160
\nIs episode 200 cool?
\nSo it’ll be interesting to see <\/p>\n

160
\n00:08:23,160 –> 00:08:25,640
\nif episode 300 surpasses episode
\n200. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:08:27,960 –> 00:08:29,400
\nPeople.
\nCare about their friends? <\/p>\n

162
\n00:08:29,720 –> 00:08:31,720
\nLet’s hit 5K.
\nThere you go. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:08:31,800 –> 00:08:34,960
\nYeah, I remember, Levi, when you
\nand I got excited when we had <\/p>\n

164
\n00:08:34,960 –> 00:08:37,520
\none that hit 1000.
\nNo, it was a big deal when we <\/p>\n

165
\n00:08:37,520 –> 00:08:39,679
\nhit 1000.
\nIt’s crazy. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:08:39,760 –> 00:08:42,600
\nWe.
\nWere like oh we hit 1000 listens<\/p>\n

167
\n00:08:42,600 –> 00:08:45,920
\non one episode and now now it’s
\nlike it estimates our audience <\/p>\n

168
\n00:08:45,920 –> 00:08:48,800
\nsize is almost 1200 people,
\nwhich is blockers. <\/p>\n

169
\n00:08:50,480 –> 00:08:51,880
\nAnything else to jump out to
\nanyone else? <\/p>\n

170
\n00:08:52,880 –> 00:08:54,800
\nWell, I mean, I’ll ask the
\ncliche question. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:08:55,320 –> 00:08:57,960
\nPodcast you would think would
\nskew more towards a younger <\/p>\n

172
\n00:08:57,960 –> 00:09:00,200
\ngeneration.
\nDo the numbers support that? <\/p>\n

173
\n00:09:01,240 –> 00:09:04,440
\nNo.
\nThe range is about half of the <\/p>\n

174
\n00:09:04,440 –> 00:09:09,280
\naudience is between 35 and 60.
\nBasically there’s another 4th <\/p>\n

175
\n00:09:09,680 –> 00:09:14,320
\nthat are below 34, which is
\nscary to me to realize that now <\/p>\n

176
\n00:09:14,320 –> 00:09:16,600
\nI’m suddenly in the old
\ncategory. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:09:18,720 –> 00:09:21,640
\nBe careful, move those brackets.
\nYeah, I know the brackets are <\/p>\n

178
\n00:09:21,640 –> 00:09:22,720
\nmoving.
\nI’m like, all right, we need to <\/p>\n

179
\n00:09:22,720 –> 00:09:24,280
\nmove that that number up a
\nlittle bit more. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:09:24,280 –> 00:09:29,040
\nBut and then the remaining is
\nthose that are 60 or older. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:09:29,600 –> 00:09:32,760
\nIt is interesting to see because
\nto your point, Brian, I think <\/p>\n

182
\n00:09:32,760 –> 00:09:35,480
\nthis podcast listening in
\ngeneral is definitely something <\/p>\n

183
\n00:09:35,480 –> 00:09:37,840
\nthat is more.
\nThe whole reason that Levi and I<\/p>\n

184
\n00:09:37,840 –> 00:09:40,360
\nstarted this up is we were in
\nthat young category when we came<\/p>\n

185
\n00:09:40,360 –> 00:09:43,120
\nup with this idea originally
\nbecause we were listening to so <\/p>\n

186
\n00:09:43,120 –> 00:09:45,760
\nmany different podcasts and
\nwe’re like, we should be <\/p>\n

187
\n00:09:45,760 –> 00:09:48,800
\nlistening to Bible talks and
\nconsuming them in the same way. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:09:49,320 –> 00:09:52,040
\nAnd so I don’t know if that
\nmeans that the podcast <\/p>\n

189
\n00:09:52,040 –> 00:09:53,720
\ngeneration is aging up.
\nI don’t know. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:09:53,720 –> 00:09:55,000
\nI don’t know what those numbers
\nmean. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:09:56,160 –> 00:09:59,360
\nI just think it’s it, it’s a
\ntestament to how accessible I <\/p>\n

192
\n00:09:59,360 –> 00:10:04,600
\nthink you guys have worked to
\nmake it so that it’s a lot of <\/p>\n

193
\n00:10:04,600 –> 00:10:07,200
\nwork has been done behind the
\nscenes to make it shoot across <\/p>\n

194
\n00:10:07,200 –> 00:10:09,480
\nso many different platforms, you
\nknow? <\/p>\n

195
\n00:10:09,480 –> 00:10:12,800
\nSo hats off to you for figuring
\nthat out so that it is able to <\/p>\n

196
\n00:10:12,800 –> 00:10:16,120
\nbe accessible in order to keep
\npromoting the message of the <\/p>\n

197
\n00:10:16,120 –> 00:10:19,040
\ngospel, essentially.
\nI think that’s one of the things<\/p>\n

198
\n00:10:19,040 –> 00:10:21,000
\nthat I just really love.
\nWell, I mean, that’s really what<\/p>\n

199
\n00:10:21,000 –> 00:10:24,120
\nbrought me to wanting to be
\ninvolved in this, that it, it <\/p>\n

200
\n00:10:24,120 –> 00:10:28,040
\nreally is so open and available
\nto so many people and it’s <\/p>\n

201
\n00:10:28,480 –> 00:10:33,440
\nfilling such a need for so many
\npeople that it just, it really <\/p>\n

202
\n00:10:33,440 –> 00:10:38,320
\nfeels like this is, this is
\nsomething very useful and very <\/p>\n

203
\n00:10:38,320 –> 00:10:40,520
\nhelpful.
\nAnd so it’s, it’s really neat to<\/p>\n

204
\n00:10:40,520 –> 00:10:45,760
\nsee what, what God has done with
\nit and think about hopefully <\/p>\n

205
\n00:10:45,760 –> 00:10:47,440
\nwhere we can go with it then
\ntoo. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:10:48,200 –> 00:10:51,840
\nYeah, there’s a thing in
\nmarketing and where like, again,<\/p>\n

207
\n00:10:51,840 –> 00:10:53,720
\nwhy I think this is a good idea
\nis we’re just trying to reduce <\/p>\n

208
\n00:10:53,720 –> 00:10:55,880
\nclicks.
\nLike we are serving a talk and <\/p>\n

209
\n00:10:55,880 –> 00:10:58,000
\nand if you listen to podcasts,
\nyou get this and it’s literally <\/p>\n

210
\n00:10:58,000 –> 00:11:00,480
\none click.
\nYou could go, you could find all<\/p>\n

211
\n00:11:00,480 –> 00:11:01,640
\nthese same talks on the
\nInternet. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:11:01,640 –> 00:11:02,880
\nThat’s where we get almost all
\nof them. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:11:03,240 –> 00:11:05,360
\nWell, except I, I guess I should
\nsay, except now Chris is <\/p>\n

214
\n00:11:05,360 –> 00:11:07,440
\ndigitizing tapes.
\nSo we’ve got the the good stuff <\/p>\n

215
\n00:11:07,440 –> 00:11:10,840
\nthat no one can find a.
\nCommodity. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:11:11,720 –> 00:11:15,040
\nBut like you could, you know,
\nyou could go and find this <\/p>\n

217
\n00:11:15,040 –> 00:11:18,200
\nstuff, but we just, you know,
\nwe’re just, and it doesn’t take <\/p>\n

218
\n00:11:18,200 –> 00:11:19,480
\nus like a ton of work.
\nWe just make it easier. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:11:19,480 –> 00:11:22,040
\nI want to talk about the first
\ndownloads within the seven days <\/p>\n

220
\n00:11:22,040 –> 00:11:25,320
\nnumber because the short, short
\nstory is we’re in the top 10% of<\/p>\n

221
\n00:11:25,320 –> 00:11:28,600
\npodcasts as far as downloads
\nwithin the first seven days, <\/p>\n

222
\n00:11:29,320 –> 00:11:31,760
\nwhich is pretty great.
\nAnd that is, I want to thank <\/p>\n

223
\n00:11:31,760 –> 00:11:33,960
\nthose listeners specifically.
\nThat’s a number that encourages <\/p>\n

224
\n00:11:33,960 –> 00:11:37,840
\nme as a host or a volunteer
\ndoing this, seeing how many <\/p>\n

225
\n00:11:37,840 –> 00:11:40,640
\ntalk, how many people listen
\nbasically immediately. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:11:41,280 –> 00:11:43,800
\nLike it’s not surprising to have
\n4 or 500 people that listen <\/p>\n

227
\n00:11:43,800 –> 00:11:47,800
\nwithin the 1st 24 hours.
\nWhich that to me, if you’re one <\/p>\n

228
\n00:11:47,800 –> 00:11:50,160
\nof those people, I’d, I’d, I
\nwant to thank you for doing <\/p>\n

229
\n00:11:50,160 –> 00:11:51,760
\nthat.
\nAnd I mean that really just <\/p>\n

230
\n00:11:52,120 –> 00:11:55,200
\nbecause that isn’t that to me is
\nlike, OK, I got to get this out <\/p>\n

231
\n00:11:55,440 –> 00:12:01,640
\nby 5:00 Pacific Time on Sunday
\nbecause 500 people expect it, <\/p>\n

232
\n00:12:02,280 –> 00:12:03,680
\nright?
\nAnd I know if, if I said that to<\/p>\n

233
\n00:12:03,680 –> 00:12:05,440
\nyour face as you were listening,
\nyou’d be like, no, no, don’t <\/p>\n

234
\n00:12:05,440 –> 00:12:06,480
\nworry about it.
\nYou could be a day later. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:12:06,480 –> 00:12:10,720
\nWhatever that audience is, is
\nwhen I really think about <\/p>\n

236
\n00:12:10,720 –> 00:12:13,400
\nregularly.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:12:13,400 –> 00:12:16,160
\nAnd on that point, Levi, I think
\nnow is a perfect time. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:12:16,440 –> 00:12:18,920
\nWe’ve done this in the last
\nseveral specials, but to <\/p>\n

239
\n00:12:18,920 –> 00:12:21,960
\nespecially thank everybody who
\nis ever written in and sent in a<\/p>\n

240
\n00:12:21,960 –> 00:12:25,920
\nsuggestion, as well as all those
\nthroughout the years who have <\/p>\n

241
\n00:12:25,960 –> 00:12:28,880
\nalso volunteered behind the
\nscenes to help work out things <\/p>\n

242
\n00:12:28,880 –> 00:12:30,080
\nand those that are currently
\nhelping. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:12:30,080 –> 00:12:32,760
\nNow, the social media and all
\nthe stuff we’ve got going on is <\/p>\n

244
\n00:12:32,760 –> 00:12:35,280
\nbeing done by people that are
\nnot the four of us. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:12:35,680 –> 00:12:38,080
\nAnd it’s part of why the social
\nmedia is so much better than it <\/p>\n

246
\n00:12:38,080 –> 00:12:39,200
\nwas.
\nIf you go and look at some of <\/p>\n

247
\n00:12:39,200 –> 00:12:41,920
\nthe earlier posts, you can see
\nwhat it looks like when one of <\/p>\n

248
\n00:12:41,920 –> 00:12:44,120
\nus is in charge of the social
\nmedia and the graphics. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:12:44,440 –> 00:12:48,480
\nIt is not great, but I wanted to
\nespecially thank the people that<\/p>\n

250
\n00:12:48,480 –> 00:12:53,040
\nare helping us run the podcast
\non behind the scenes in taking <\/p>\n

251
\n00:12:53,040 –> 00:12:55,880
\nsuggestions, and then also
\neverybody who takes the time to <\/p>\n

252
\n00:12:55,880 –> 00:12:59,040
\nsend in suggestions, helping us
\nto figure out how to get access <\/p>\n

253
\n00:12:59,040 –> 00:13:01,000
\nto the talks.
\nI know I really appreciate that <\/p>\n

254
\n00:13:01,520 –> 00:13:03,680
\nsometimes you might get weird
\nemails from me asking you how to<\/p>\n

255
\n00:13:03,680 –> 00:13:06,400
\ntalk, sometimes months if not
\nyears after you recommended it. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:13:06,400 –> 00:13:09,480
\nAnd the link doesn’t work.
\nBut all the work that we do to <\/p>\n

257
\n00:13:09,480 –> 00:13:12,280
\ntry to capture these amazing
\ntalks and share them with <\/p>\n

258
\n00:13:12,280 –> 00:13:17,240
\neverybody is so, so appreciated.
\nAnd we even mentioned it in the <\/p>\n

259
\n00:13:17,240 –> 00:13:21,640
\nnew intro that all of these
\ntalks are because of suggestions<\/p>\n

260
\n00:13:21,640 –> 00:13:24,520
\nand recommendations from people
\nliterally all around the world, <\/p>\n

261
\n00:13:24,800 –> 00:13:27,880
\nhelping us to gather the
\nmaterial that is being taught <\/p>\n

262
\n00:13:27,880 –> 00:13:30,040
\nand shared and spread all around
\nthe world. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:13:30,040 –> 00:13:32,920
\nAnd I just want to make sure
\nthat we thank each and everyone <\/p>\n

264
\n00:13:32,920 –> 00:13:36,360
\nof you because this podcast
\nwould just be the four of us or <\/p>\n

265
\n00:13:36,560 –> 00:13:40,000
\noriginally the two of us, just
\nLevi and I talking about Bob <\/p>\n

266
\n00:13:40,000 –> 00:13:42,280
\nLloyd talks and a few other
\nspeakers that we want to enjoy. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:13:42,280 –> 00:13:44,520
\nIf the rest of you hadn’t sent
\nin recommendations and <\/p>\n

268
\n00:13:44,520 –> 00:13:48,200
\nsuggestions that we were able to
\nenjoy the process of screening <\/p>\n

269
\n00:13:48,200 –> 00:13:49,280
\nthrough.
\nSo thank you. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:13:49,960 –> 00:13:52,120
\nCool.
\nWell, Jason talked about what <\/p>\n

271
\n00:13:52,120 –> 00:13:54,480
\nwe’re doing in the future, major
\nlike announcements. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:13:54,480 –> 00:13:56,080
\nBrian’s gonna be back more full
\ntime. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:13:56,080 –> 00:13:58,160
\nDo you have any other like,
\nthoughts about what’s going to <\/p>\n

274
\n00:13:58,160 –> 00:14:02,120
\nhappen in the next 100 episodes?
\nI think the the only other thing<\/p>\n

275
\n00:14:02,120 –> 00:14:05,000
\nwe were going to mention in this
\none that we wanted to announce <\/p>\n

276
\n00:14:05,000 –> 00:14:09,600
\nin July, each of us is going to
\npick one of our own talks to <\/p>\n

277
\n00:14:09,600 –> 00:14:11,720
\nshare.
\nBecause I don’t know about the <\/p>\n

278
\n00:14:11,720 –> 00:14:13,680
\nrest of you, but every once in a
\nwhile someone will ask, well, if<\/p>\n

279
\n00:14:13,680 –> 00:14:17,280
\nyou were going to put your own
\ntalk up on the podcast, which <\/p>\n

280
\n00:14:17,280 –> 00:14:20,640
\none would it be?
\nAnd we always try to do in July <\/p>\n

281
\n00:14:20,640 –> 00:14:23,040
\nsomething different, partly to
\ngive all of us a break so we can<\/p>\n

282
\n00:14:23,040 –> 00:14:24,920
\nenjoy Bible schools and things
\nlike that with our families <\/p>\n

283
\n00:14:24,920 –> 00:14:27,560
\nduring the summer.
\nAnd this was an idea that we had<\/p>\n

284
\n00:14:27,560 –> 00:14:30,520
\non the back burner.
\nAnd now that Jason’s joined and <\/p>\n

285
\n00:14:30,840 –> 00:14:34,280
\nBrian is going to start coming
\nback into the mix a little bit <\/p>\n

286
\n00:14:34,280 –> 00:14:38,560
\nmore, we, we have enough hosts
\nto cover an entire month. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:14:39,320 –> 00:14:42,040
\nSo it allows us all to do that.
\nSo that’ll be what’s going on <\/p>\n

288
\n00:14:42,040 –> 00:14:44,160
\nin, in July.
\nSo it’ll be fun. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:14:44,880 –> 00:14:47,120
\nYeah, I’m excited about that.
\nIt’s it is kind of funny. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:14:47,120 –> 00:14:50,400
\nWe are picking our own talks so
\nand we’re doing our own <\/p>\n

291
\n00:14:50,400 –> 00:14:53,360
\nintroductions.
\nSo I think that’ll be obviously <\/p>\n

292
\n00:14:53,360 –> 00:14:55,800
\nvery different than what we
\nusually do. <\/p>\n

293
\n00:14:55,800 –> 00:14:58,480
\nAll right, well, thank you all.
\nI thank you guys here with me <\/p>\n

294
\n00:14:58,480 –> 00:15:00,440
\nand thank you to anyone who’s
\nlistening. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:15:00,440 –> 00:15:03,720
\nLike we said, we’re excited for
\n100 more episodes. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:15:03,720 –> 00:15:07,000
\nYou know, we, we pray that the
\nOur Lord continues to bless this<\/p>\n

297
\n00:15:07,000 –> 00:15:08,760
\nproject as long as he remains
\naway. <\/p>\n
