Welcome to Episode 100 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest. It is Sunday the 13th of September 2020, and we have reached Episode 100. So I'll quickly gonna state, the position of the podcast right now recap my day and then close it off, it's not going to be a very long one, given the above agenda. So currently, according to the analytics on anchor.com, or anchor app or whatever, which is what I used to record the podcast on 100th episode while this is 100 so it's not the hundreds but it has been listened to 441 times that doesn't include YouTube but I don't think the YouTube listened to particularly great in terms of didn't make much of a difference so that may be a few of actually maybe a few per episode so I guess I could be another 50 or 100 or whatever so maybe 500, but 441. And apparently, I have now an average listenership of five. Now that's, that's awesome, because that's 25% higher than it was, you know, up till about a week ago, where it's been a four and looking at the stats, which I just did in order to be able to tell you this stuff I'm not, I haven't been tracking them to be honest but um, I just looked, and it seems I just had my best week ever. I think it was 66 plays in one week or something, I think. And it looks like there's a little bit of an uplift. In the past month which would make sense we've gone from four to five regular listeners, so that's pretty much you you you you or you and. And that's awesome, because you know you've been listening so you know exactly what these are like and they're not really full of wisdom or wit and they're probably not all that interesting. A lot of the time so they're kind of like a diary really. So thank you very much for being so awesome and sticking with it, maybe that's a, you know, a sign of things to come, a slow build. But on that note, and just to reiterate if you are one of the few or the new, whose noses come to this. So the original idea of this podcast was because I wanted to do something that kept me feeling like I was doing something busy there's a few reasons. You know, one could do social media posts this that the other blahblah, people say you should post on Instagram every day and all of this stuff and I wanted something that I could do something that I could keep up with. And wherever I was something that was easy to do. So that was one reason for thinking, Well, you know daily podcast that could probably do, because I like talking to. Speaking of the like talking. And I think that just read a book or something maybe that's in my mind or had been in my mind that, you know, there's so many options for expressing yourself through different art forms and that might be photography or whatever you're Some people love using Facebook. Some people love using Twitter Some people love and do video some people, etc YouTuber, and I love talking type sorry I do I love talking. So it was very natural idea really to go with the best, you know, go with the, the medium that you're most comfortable in and talking very easy so Bosh that's the second reason for the podcast. The third reason for the podcast was to create a diary for myself effectively of my thoughts of what I was up to that may or may not be of use, or interest at any time later in the future. But like all things, if you don't record it if you don't put it down if you don't do it if you don't have that data you can never go back and get it. So, it's kind of like well okay let me do that. And because you know these last few months life really is changing, obviously, you know coronavirus has changed a lot of things but our personal journey as a family and my personal journey you know I can feel that there's a. It's undergoing really quite a significant change probably one of the biggest changes that I've had in years. And it's by certainly no means finished it's like it's just the beginning of that change but I feel like it's really basically at the start of a very big new chapter, and a new phase of t
