But in terms of the staff that's actually producing the content, they're all just devoted to reply all.
I mean, they release 36 shows a year, and there's a staff of six working full-time, five full-time people and an intern.
Just on that show?
Just on that show.
Okay.
And, you know, and it's funny, like, I mean, in the world of podcasting, that seems like a lot of people in the world of like, you know, sort of like premium public radio producing shows that I come from, you know, at This American Life, there was a staff of, you know, I think it was over 10 people, you know, producing, you know, a little bit less content play a year.
or basically the same amount of content here.
So, you know, so, so, you know, it all depends on the kind of story you're doing.

You know, in television, it's still like Nielsen ratings and stuff, you know, which are like way less efficient than what we have right now.
At least in podcasting, you know, you know, basically, you know, basically how many people listen, you know, that how many people have like downloaded it.
And then, you know, from survey data and stuff.
We just, we just, we just get the number of impressions from, we, we host, we've been hosting on SoundCloud, uh, and we, you know, you, SoundCloud gives you an overall number on, on how many, how many plays you've gotten in the play includes a download, or it also includes like if somebody streamed it over, over Stitcher, and it also includes somebody listening straight off the website or off of SoundCloud.
