Ep 100: Bucks achieve another milestone, looking back and squinting forward
Believe it or not, we made it to 100 episodes. Not bad for what started out as coffee banter. Wait, that's still what it is except nearly a million people [or slightly fewer] are listening in. Based on our download statistics, we are in the top 25% nationally and top 10% globally. What does that mean? It means there are a ton of podcasts out there.
Enough of that. More importantly, we like to talk about podcast quality and the episodes we [or you] liked best. So here goes:
The interview with Judge Jones [Episode 84] drew the most downloads as a lot of people found his story very fascinating. We ,liked it a lot, too. One of our best. We also enjoyed our interviews with Gene, Judith, Terry, John, and Dr. Vito.
Our Ukraine stories [beginning with Episode 72] struck a chord with viewers who heard of the efforts of one family of refugees to make it o the US. Unexpectedly, listeners contributed thousands of dollars to the family and to Ukrainian relief efforts. Thanks, folks.
The Ice episode [#68] was a crowd favorite as we read Holly's short story and discussed the Dead Guy Festival.
Our discussion of Miss Neff, one of our teachers who made a difference, was another big hit. Listen to Season2 Episode 2 [1/14/2021] and then hug a teacher.
Del put Normalville on the map in Season 2 Episode 35. Or they put us on the map, more likely.
Way back in Episode 4 [Dec, 2020] Del warned the world about the spotted lantern fly ahead of CBS and all the other news outlets that hooked onto the story later. Before that he told us how he ate ants.
Dave's interview with his grandsons was another classic [Season 2 Episode 15] much enjoyed by all his relatives.
No list would be complete without including Loser Lotto, beginning way back in Episode 2 and continuing until Del euthanized it. Del's podcast card tricks have never been matched nor duplicated. And he's still waiting for the invite from Elon to go to Mars.
We made our ten predictions for the future and we're counting on Ranger Rick to keep score for us.
Until then, we can only say it has been an exercise in friendship and love. Visit or call an old friend and say hello. Make a new friend. You'll never regret it.
