#982 ChatGPT OpenAI Let me bore you to sleep (Jason Newland) (8th March 2023)

Hello and welcome to let me bore you to sleep. My name is Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

And my website is jasonnewland.com. That didn't go quite as planned, but never mind. Hello. Hello.

Hello. Hi. A couple of messages to read out.

I forgot to reply to to one. This is from Mary. And so thanks for the message, Mary.

When was this from the fifth of March? And it's now the eighth. Oh, I'm a little bit slow. I that's what all my teachers used to say to me.

Hi, Jason. You probably had lots of messages about Roman numerals. But just in case, here we go.

Not to read the rest of that. Also, I've been puzzling over something for a while. For a while.

I don't watch you on YouTube. But when you say please only listen, when you can safely close your eyes. I always wonder how people will see the video if they're to close their eyes.

Am I being thick? There's a very strong likelihood that this is the case. Cheers. And now you're not being thick.

Don't ever call yourself thick. Thanks for your message. Well, let me look.

The reason I started off, this is going to be a long answer, you realize this can be very boring answer. Back in 2007, or 2006 ish. I was doing group sessions for a charity, a drug rehab charity, as well as an alcohol charity, two different places.

I actually got headhunted for the drug rehab. It was just a voluntary position, but I was leading group relaxation sessions. And by the way, in the background is Vinnie Andre new land, chewing on a bone, a new bone, I just put some new bone, I guess it's not new as is.

But you know, I mean, it's a bone. I just got him from the pet shop. So he will be quiet for the next hour or so apart from the crunching that you can hear.

And yeah, so I used to record the recordings on my dicta machine, my dictaphone thing to put on my website. I'm not sure Yeah, and also to upload them onto my space. And maybe even a podcast.

I forget such a long time ago. But somebody said to me that, you know, because I think at the time I was only there on a Friday. And one of the gentlemen who came along to listen, because all the staff would come as well, it'd be quite a bit, not a huge amount of people, but sometimes up to 25 people, but at least like 12 1214 people, and include like four or five staff.

And it was the last thing on a Friday afternoon that everyone did. So it's quite a nice ending to the week. So I just lead people through the group relaxation.

And otherwise closed. And also, one of the members of staff, she was a acupuncturist, and she would put these ear acupuncture things in people's ears, hence the ear thing. And I used to have them as well for the last few weeks, it was quite nice.

And they're basically, there was about I think detoxification stuff. So that's what we did. So someone asked me, it's nice to listen to you, you know, on once a week, and it is helping.

But I quite like to better hear you every day. And I said, Oh, why don't you come around, come move in, come into your spare room. No, I said, Okay, I thought about it.

And he said, Well, can you do a CD? I said, Okay. And as I was recording during the recessions, anyway, I thought, maybe I could. So I looked into it.

And with the help from the man at the alcohol charity, together, we put together some CDs. He was quite good at the computer side of things. So he did all that stuff, and made a cover and all that.

And I basically, I chose the best recording I could get at ones I had, none of them were like great quality sound. But you know, I did what I could, I found the best one, made CDs and gave them out to both the alcohol charity and the drug rehab charity. And they really, they weren't sold, we just gave them free.

But they, they kind of stopped doing them because it was costing a fair bit of money to give them away for nothing. So but we did it for a while. Anyway, the thing was, because they were going away, because I was saying to them, like, close your eyes.

And we were, they were in a situation where it was safe to just sit and close your eyes. And there was a discussion between me and my friend who was also working at the charity at the alcohol charity. I need to put a warning or something, some kind of warning on the sleeve of the thing.

So it wasn't saying it out, it wasn't saying it before the recording started. I didn't start doing that until maybe later on. But I probably shortly afterwards, actually, bought the actual CDs.

So we kind of what can we put in the idea of like putting down so many different scenarios where you shouldn't be listening to a relaxation session. You know, when you're driving, things like that, just in case you close your eyes in case you fall asleep. Especially if the word sleep is in the podcast.

So I because you know, they didn't want to get sued, basically the charities. And I thought, well, see, I don't know if it was me or the man or between two of us. But we came up together with the idea, how can we make it a really simple sentence, instead of putting don't use when using heavy machinery, don't use when driving, don't use when flying a helicopter.

Don't, you know, don't use when performing a operation on someone, you know, just don't listen, when you can only only listen. But it was the first one, don't listen, unless you can close your eyes, then don't listen, unless you can safely close your eyes, and then only listen when you can safely close your eyes. So even if someone doesn't close your eyes when they're listening, only listen if it is safe for you to close your eyes.

And that seemed to cover every eventuality. And I really looked into it, I kind of spent at least two minutes looking into this and he's making a lot of noise in the background to me. And it seems to me that like, yeah, it does cover everything.

Because there's nothing you can do really, with your eyes closed. As a person with sight, and that is, well, I can't think of anything that is dangerous. Now I realise people that are blind or not hearing, visually impaired, may do more things than someone that wouldn't do with their eyes closed, of course.

But even so, it's, yeah, I think it kind of covers everything. So that's where the said that's where the why say right at the beginning, and I've been saying it for 17 years. That's where it comes from.

Now with the videos on YouTube, because that's kind of where I really put most of my energy for the first few years of doing this. I had podcasts, but the podcast was almost secondary to the videos. So I'd make a video and then I'd extract the audio from the video and put that on a podcast.

Because June, I remember it was 2007 that I had the podcast, and it was really going well. So I started making audios specifically for it. And then 2008, it was because I started my university course in September 2007.

That's my counselling degree. We had Christmas, and then went back in January 2008. And I remember showing one or showing off but not being really excited.

Because somebody asked me, Oh, hey, you do podcasts? Or you do hypnosis and stuff? I said, Yeah. And they wanted to have a look. So I showed them my podcast.

Podcasts weren't really a lot of people wouldn't even know what a podcast is. It wasn't a well known term or a well known word. A few famous people had podcasts and most people knew what YouTube was by then.

But I was excited because I'd reached 100,000 downloads of my podcast. And I was getting really quite a lot of downloads every day. And I was super excited.

I really thought that this is it. It's going to take off. I mean, it was taking off and I thought that there's potentially a future.

I think my stomach just started churning. I thought it potentially was a future, you know, as a podcaster. Now I was wrong.

Well, I wasn't wrong, ultimately, but I've stuck it out. But the podcast industry just seemed to collapse. The podcast that I was using just stopped and closed down.

First of all, they deleted about at least half of my podcasts, because I think at the time I had a few 100 on there, cut 100 or whatever, they just deleted about half my podcast episodes. And then they stopped producing stats. And then we're no longer able to even upload anything.

And it just went. And it was it was called my free podcast.com, I think. I'm gonna check that.

I have discussed this before, I think, my free podcast.com. Now, the thing about this is, okay, if I just go my my free podcast, podcast my free podcast. There's not even anything on here. Oh, my free podcast.

2007.com 2007. Nope. Time engine time engine.

So, oh, it definitely was a website. You know, that had podcasts, the podcast website. And it had 1000s upon 1000s of different podcasts on there.

So if I just put in free podcast podcast hosting in 2007. And free blimey, this is really weird. It's not working properly.

Free podcast hosting 2007. Best podcast size audible. It's almost like they've forgotten all about it.

That's not fair. They're not just like going about the podcast hosting sites are available now. But I want to see what's available then.

Anyway, and it's just adding stuff that isn't even relevant. What free podcast hosting 2007. podcasting.

See, some of the podcasts are still around this some. But most of the ones closed, you know, that were around then, seem to close. But there are a few that have been around for a long time.

Such as pod beans been around a while, quite a while. Podematics been around for I was I used to use Podematic when I was at university. So it was around in 2008 2009.

Yes, quite a few. Anyway, so that's how I got to saying that. I think I used to say on the YouTube videos, I only listen or watch this video when you listen to or watch when you can.

Well, I might have just said only watch this when you can safely close your eyes. And then when I was incorporating the podcast listeners, I've changed it to a close your eyes, just close your eyes. I think I changed it to only watch or listen.

I'd have to I'd have to listen back or watch back to some of the old recordings. But none of them are really available, even on YouTube. A few of them are available on YouTube, but not on my YouTube channel.

Some of them, the podcasts haven't really got much of any old podcasts going back further than really four or five years, six years. I've got rid of most of the old stuff. So it's mainly just the more recent few years, you know, free or original.

I thought it's put in an original, original, free podcast hosting. No, still not coming back. What about history of podcasting? Would you think that bring up anything? History, history of podcasting.

History on Audible. No. History of podcasting.

This is weird. Bing. Why is it coming up on Bing? I don't even use Bing.

Why? The complete history of podcasts. So podcasts slowly but surely start to catch on. By October 2004, the first podcast service provider Libsyn.com emerged.

But then it started to dissolve, started to go away. Let's have a look. This is Bing.

Now, I don't know if you realize Bing uses AI. And it's potentially, potentially better than Google for being up to date. But, hmm, let's have a look.

History, Google also use AI as well. Everyone's using AI. But it's kind of behind the scenes at the moment.

But AI is really taken off. Actually, that was what I was going to talk about today. 2006.

Well, that's interesting. Well, it's not really. To kick off the year, Steve Jobs, this is in 2006.

Steve Jobs instructed a live audience about how to create their own podcast. Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch. That was, that was what was happening in the background of Steve Jobs's presentation.

So he told him how to create their own podcast using Apple's free garage band software during a keynote address. Okay. Ricky Gervais set the Guinness World Record for most downloaded podcast in 2007.

With more than a quarter of a million downloads per episode. Wow. It would later be surpassed by Adam Carolla for his podcast, The Adam Carolla Show, which achieved 59 million unique downloads per episode.

Wow. Mark Maron is one of the, you could see he's almost is the WTF podcast he does. He's been doing it from for years since 2009.

Not as long as me, but, and he, he became a really, I think, if anything, he, he really promoted podcasting. So he carried on when it wasn't popular, just like I did. And then he, yeah, that was huge.

And podcast, and this is two for Apple's podcast on 2017. Okay, I can't find anything on there. So that's, that's the reason for why I say only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

And I got a message from, if you're not asleep yet, Samantha. Thank you, Samantha. Hey there, Jason, just wanted to stop by to extend my appreciation for all that you do.

In the past couple of weeks, I've been struggling with insomnia and anxiety, right when I'm trying to sleep. Listening to you has helped me tremendously. You really have given me my sleep back.

Listening to you is like having a friend calming me down. Greetings from CDMX. I don't know what that is.

So thank you, Samantha. And if I've got that wrong, then let me know. So thanks, Sam.

I appreciate your your message. It's lovely. Thank you.

I'm happy to help. If I can help. I'm happy to do so.

I think generally that's kind of why I'm here. My stomach wants feeding for some reason. Oh yeah, because I'm a human being.

I need to eat. That's why. My free podcast.

My free. I still want to look. Look it up.

My free podcast. Nope. It's not coming up.

My. It's one of this up on images. Images.

Images. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay.

I know what I'm going to do. This is going to be something spectacular. Okay.

Four. Here we go. I found what I need to find.

Again, this is very strange. Okay, here we go. Right, way back machine, internet archive.

Here we go. Reload. Well, is it not what it does? It's not around anymore.

This site can't provide a secure connection. So I don't care. Okay, I know what to do.

There's always a solution. There's always a solution. So like, I know exactly what I'm going to do.

I'm going to give up. Oh, no, that's it. That's it.

No, I'm not. I give up. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to give up. Unless, unless if I do on a private page, can I open a private page? Private page. Is there such a thing? There used to be, there used to be, there used to be, there used to be.

Safe search is on. I don't want safe search on. How about safe search? You can't turn safe search off right now.

Because someone else, such as a parent or administrator control setting on this network, or device that you're using. Dad, what are you doing? I believe it. I cannot believe it.

That's account security, your adult filter content filters on. Oh, I have to do it. Oh, now, it just shows you that I don't go into adult sites, doesn't it? It was a bit embarrassing.

Anyway, I've got some messages on Facebook. That'd be nice. So let me read them out to you.

Let me read out the Facebook pages. Okay, right. Here we go.

Ben says, season one of Lost Complete Jason. Why did you say the ending? LOL. I didn't.

Did I? I don't remember spoiling the ending. No, I didn't. No, I didn't.

No, I didn't. I'm pretty sure I didn't. I'm pretty sure, pretty, pretty sure that I didn't spoil the ending.

However, I might have done. And if I did, I do apologize. But I don't recollect.

To be fair, I can't spoil the ending because I never saw the ending. Ah, so there. See? And you might think, well, how can you recommend a TV show we didn't see the ending? Well, at the time, this was about 2000 and 2008, 2009, I don't know, sometime like that.

And I got the DVD box set from Blockbusters. I rented it out. Because, you know, it was just, I think I'd heard of it.

And I thought, I'll give it a go. And I fell in love with it. It was like the best thing I'd seen in my life.

And, you know, I got very excited. Very excited. And then as I got to a point where I'd watched all the shows, all the seasons, and I was waiting for the final season to come out.

And by then, I'm not sure if Blockbusters was even still around. It probably was. Or it might have been one of those cases when I got the box set, and it was scratched.

And I took it back, got a refund, but just like for now. Yeah. It's a little bit like, I think, you know, going to your favorite sandwich shop and, you know, they put in the wrong fill in or, you know, and it's like, and you don't go there for a while.

And then you forget and you go back. It's a bit like that. It's, I think by the time it was time to go back, they'd closed.

I can't remember 100%, to be honest. I might not have had a TV at the time. I went a year without a TV.

And I just watched stuff online on my laptop. This was 2011. That's a weird year that was.

But so is 2012. So is 2013. So is 2014 and 15 and 16 and 17 and 18.

And every year is a bit weird. So I never got to see the last few episodes of the show. So yeah, so I couldn't have sport it.

I might have made it up. I might have made up an ending. But I don't recall a lot of what happened in the show.

Because a lot happened. It's a very adventurous, quite fast moving at times. It's a lot happens.

It's a brilliant show. It's really great. But I think that with those shows, and it seems to be the same with every, every show that runs on for a while, they, if they run out of ideas, or they basically have so much money offered to them, that they can't say no.

You know, the actors can't say no, the writers can't say no, the producers can't say no. It's just, you know, huge amounts of money to make another season or series. And I don't think there's that same, same amount of work or same amount of excitement or creativity, whatever it is, that was there at the beginning, you know, seven, eight years earlier, when it was just a show, and they didn't know if it was even going to get taken up and they offered a pilot.

And, you know, it was like, oh, it was just exciting. And it was new, and it was fresh. And I've noticed the same thing kind of happened.

See, I'm very loyal to TV shows, I will watch every episode right to the end, generally. But I did notice with Prison Break, another show that I loved, I loved, loved, loved, loved Prison Break. That went a bit weird near the end, they ended up, instead of being in breaking out one prison, they ended up in about 32 different prisons.

And the prison warden ended up in prison. And you know, the other prisoners ended up being prison guards, and it was just ended up on the moon, it was very strange. But I watched it to the end, right to the very last episode.

And then a couple years later, they pull out another season. And it was all finished, it was all done. And I've never seen that season, I've not seen it.

So I don't know what happened in it. I roughly know what happens. I know, you know, certain things, but you know, you can kind of tell who's in the show by the front cover.

If there's an actor on the front cover, he's probably going to be in the show, isn't he? Or her? Even if that person's not supposed to even be around anymore. So yeah, so that's one. Another one, Sopranos.

Now they dipped, I think a little bit in the middle, or near near in the end. And then they got it back. They got it back.

There's one series, one season where he's Soprano, Tony is in hospital, he's been shot and he's in hospital. And a lot is a lot of like dream imagery and stuff. And although interesting, and it's interesting what's going out outside what's going on outside the hospital and stuff.

It wasn't the same, it was a bit different, a bit kind of unusual. But it was interesting to see Tony Soprano being like the every guy, just a normal person, not a Mafia boss. And it kind of being what he, it seemed that he really longed to be just a nice bloke, just wanted to live a nice life.

And, you know, sometimes in between murders, you know, he's like, Oh, yeah, I might be nice. So he, they picked up in the last season, they really picked up and it was good. So you know, it's, it wasn't bad.

I didn't, I didn't find it bad at any time. But it took a little dip, a little dip. Another show that I fell in love with was True Blood.

And this was 2009 was a 2010 2009, something like that. And my, I think it was a friend of mine recommended it to me. And she said, have you have you not seen True Blood? I said, No, I don't even know what it is.

She said, you got to check it out. Now, I didn't realize that True Blood was not really aimed at the noise he's making. Or hear the noise he's making.

This bone was about the size of his head. So don't know how he's managing to to eat it. Anyway, the True Blood.

I don't think it was really aimed at me. But I loved it. I think it was aimed at a much younger audience.

And it was there was romance and all kinds of stuff like that, which is something I'm not generally into. But I loved the show. I just did couldn't help it.

I loved it. Loved true romance, not true romance. And I'm thinking about Tony Soprano now and I loved True Blood.

Another couple of programs I really liked, I fell in love with was a show called Carnival. It was just Carnival. There was a show now called Carnival Row.

But this was Carnival and it was based in the 1800s. Carnival traveling through America. And it was very strange.

It's a very, very strange TV show. And I was just gripped to it. Another one, there's another two actually that I got really into was Six Foot Under.

And the hospital drama, I think it's called now. Oh, Mr. McFluffy, Mr. McFurry, that one. Oh, that's really noisy, isn't it? Didn't someone send me a message saying something? Oh, I got a message here.

This is from Diana saying, so I said in my message, have a great weekend and a picture of Vinnie laying on his back. Ours is nearly over. Enjoy yours.

And Vinnie, make sure you get more bonus. I don't mind hearing you because Jason is so boring. LOL.

Well, he got you. You got your wish come true. Because he's there now.

Doing exactly that. Where's the pages? I'm trying to find the pages. But where's the page? Where is the page? Seal pages.

It's a not it's a group, isn't it? Where's my groups? Where's my groups? Groups. Okay, there we go. Right.

So I got that been that been mentioned that Laura one day ago, Laura says, I like to set a sleep timer when I listen to let me boy to sleep. Usually 15 minutes or 30. If I'm not quite as tired as usual.

Then sometimes after my sleep, I like to go back and rewind bit by bit to figure out how much I actually managed to listen to before I dropped off. Does anybody else do this? Or am I crazy? Well, you're not crazy. Thanks, Laura.

Thanks for that message. There is a few people have answered. Helen says, I can definitely relate to that.

I do the same thing. And we'll even listen to the whole thing again. When I'm not tired.

Sometimes I laugh at different bits, or the same bits again. As an autistic, I call it stimming on board me to sleep recordings. Cool.

Thanks, Helen. Joanne Joanna says, haha, same. Okay.

And Diana says, Wow, I never hear the end. Sometimes half most times asleep pretty quick. You don't know what you're missing.

Really? I mean, there's so much good stuff here. Maybe not. So this is the Jason Newland hypnotist group.

Sounds weird. Say my name in a third person. And there you go.

That's the name of it. I posted the same thing the picture have a great weekend. This was at the weekend.

Leslie says bless him. Diana says sleep well Vinnie. Robin says happy nappy.

Tonya says living his best life. No greater sign of trust from a pup. So he's basically on his back with his belly showing and he's fast asleep.

And he's he's a good boy. He's he's he's a handful. He is a handful.

I can't can't pretend otherwise. But he's my handful. And yeah.

So I think that's all the messages. I haven't got really any else to read out. So what I was going to do, what I was going to do is just show you something that I've not I've not discovered is is quite famous at the moment.

It's a website, website, it's a website. It's a website, chat GPT, is it GPT, something like that. And the website address is actually chat.openai.com forward slash chat.

So I thought, because I went on it before a few weeks ago, just to test it out. And I thought, because I've read, I've watched a few videos, which says, you know how to use it and how this might be the future and things are going to change, you know, because it can create code and basically how it works is it's been fed information from the internet. And then it's been uploaded, it's been up being available, and you can ask it questions, including how to write code for an app, something like quite easy.

Like that, it's very complicated. Or you can ask about a person. Now, it doesn't always get it right.

So that's one of the things, you know, just like the internet, Google doesn't always get things right. But Google gives you information that's already on the internet, like literally word for word, doesn't it? It doesn't just randomly reword it. But this gives it to you.

It's just a bit different. It's it's almost like it's talking to you. But you know, I thought I'd test it out.

And okay. Yeah, I asked who I was to see if it come up. So if I put in Who is this a question? Who is hypnotist, Jason Newland? Hypnotist, hip, oh, hi, not just hip as a P in that.

Who's hypnotist? Oh, an error call. An error. I think I might have to come out and go back in again.

I think that's what happened. I think I've been in there too long. I've been in there too long, man.

Chat GPT. That's what it's called. I remember I joined straight away when they were in beta.

I think. Who is hypnotist Jason? Okay. It says here, this is the response to who is hypnotist Jason Newland.

Jason Newland is a hypnotist from the United Kingdom. He has been practicing hypnotherapy since 2006 and has become well known for his work in the field of hypnosis. Newland is Newland.

Call me Jason. Newland is particularly known for his online hypnosis sessions, which he offers for free on platforms such as YouTube and his own website. Newland's approach.

I don't want to be called Newland. That's like being back at school or in the sea cadets. Newland's approach to hypnosis is based on the principles of Ericksonian hypnotherapy, which emphasizes the importance of indirect suggestions and the use of metaphors in hypnosis.

He also incorporates elements of neuro-linguistic programming, NLP, into his practice. Newland's online hypnosis sessions cover a wide range of topics, including relaxation, sleep, confidence building, and anxiety reduction. He has gained a large following on YouTube, where his videos have been viewed millions of times.

That's not true, but I'll take it. My podcast has been listened to millions of times, but my YouTube channel didn't. The one I've got at the moment has had about 35 views, I think.

My previous channel that I deleted 10 years or whatever ago, I had half a million video views on there, but no, never had millions. Overall, overall, overall, Jason Newland is a well-respected, yeah right, I don't think anyone's going to describe me as well-respected. He's a well-respected figure, maybe a well-rounded figure, and very round in the world of hypnosis, known for his innovative approach and his commitment to making hypnosis more accessible to people around the world.

I like that. I have definitely, I mean, I haven't tried to help people, it's just been accidental, but innovative, I don't know if that's innovative. Commitment, yeah, I've definitely been committed, but I need to be committed maybe, but 17 years, I think I've proven myself on that one, I was definitely stuck to it, even through illness, through sick and in health, and yeah, I've reached an audience, I don't know how many people in that time, but I don't know, at least 12 people I must have reached.

Newland's approach to hypnosis based on the principle of Ericksonian hypnosis, hypnotherapy. Yeah, but I never mentioned that to anyone. Hmm, that's interesting.

Yeah, what else do they say? He's well-known, but I'm not really well-known, I'm known a little bit, but practicing the hypnotherapy since 2006, so I've been online since 2006, which is correct, I don't know how they got there, they got that from. Known through the field of hypnosis, well, yeah, I guess more so than anything else, the podcasts. Vinnie, all I can hear is, Newland, Newland is particularly known for his online hypnosis sessions.

Yeah, true. Not YouTube, though, which is office free. It does say free on platforms such as YouTube, and his website.

So that is correct. They are also on my, they were on my YouTube channel on my website. And yeah, so it's kind of true.

So, is hypnotist Jason Newland, particularly sexy? Hypnotist Jason Newland, well in, no. Any good? The thing is, they probably won't answer this because it's a bit of a, it's an opinion and they don't give opinions. See, as an AI language model, I cannot provide a subjective opinion, subjective opinion.

And then it goes on to say, oh, this is interesting, it goes on to say, repeating some of the stuff he says, but it says many people have reported positive results from using Newland's hypnosis sessions, particularly for use such as relaxation, sleep, confidence building and anxiety reduction. And okay. Oh, Jason Newland's podcasts.

Yes, Jason Newland's podcasts are quite popular. And he has a substantial following on various podcast platforms. How do they know this? This is, I'm not making this up, by the way, this is the AI, it's searching the internet.

But it's not searching the internet now, it's searching the internet from then. I don't think it's live. It's not a live platform.

So yes, Jason Newland's podcasts are quite popular. He has a substantial following on various podcast platforms. Newland offers a wide range of hypnosis related podcasts, included guided meditation, relaxation, and self improvement sessions.

Many people find this approach to be gentle, calming and supportive. And his use of metaphor and storytelling has been noted as particularly effective. Really? No one's ever said that to me.

I've just realized that this, this website I'm on has become my best friend. It's nicer to me than anyone else, or she is nicer to me or it is nicer to me. Say nice things to me than anyone's ever said.

Overall, Jason Newland's podcasts are well regarded in the field of hypnotherapy and are enjoyed by many people around the world. Wow. Mind you, it does start off yes.

Are my podcasts popular? Yes, they're quite popular. And I don't know, let's have a look is this. Okay, what is the what is the average download for a podcast? What's the average daily download for a podcast? I see it.

What is the average daily downloads for a podcast? I'm not sure if it's going to have this information or not. I don't know. It is a difficult, it is difficult to provide a definitive, definitive, definitive answer to that average downloads for a podcast.

Because the number can vary widely depending on factors such as the podcast topic. And blah, blah, blah. I can't believe he's saying and the size of the audience, obviously.

However, according to a 2021 report by podcast insights, the median number of downloads per episode is around 150. This means that roughly half of all podcasts this means that roughly half of all podcasts receive fewer than 150 downloads per episode, while the other half receive more than 150. So I'm in the top.

I'm in the top half percentage anyway. Of course, there are many podcasts that receive significantly more downloads than this, particularly popular, particularly popular shows with a large audience. No, really.

So podcasts get more downloads if they have, if they're popular shows and have a larger audience. Wow, I'm glad I typed that in. Oh, wow, this is new information to me.

Some podcasts may receive 1000s or even millions of downloads per episode, while others may receive only a few dozen. It all depends on how many people download them. Oh, there is.

Okay, okay. Right. Is 10,000 downloads good for daily podcast? Yes, 10,000 downloads per day for a podcast is generally considered to be very good.

This number indicates that a podcast has a large and engaging audience that is interested in the content being offered. It's important to note, however, that the number of daily downloads alone is not the only metric for measuring the success of a podcast. Other factors such as engagement, listener feedback and revenue generation are also important considerations.

In that case, I'm not doing so well. Moreover, the number of downloads can vary depending on the topic, the podcast's topic, the audience size and the podcast's promotion and marketing efforts. Therefore, it's important to compare the download numbers with other podcasts in the same category, category to get a better idea of how well the podcast is performing.

I think Vinnie stopped eating the bone now he's now having a good drink. So this might be where he starts to harass me. Harass and harangue.

That's a lot of water. He basically just drunk half his body weight in water right now. If I poured that bowl of water over him, he'd be soaked.

Seriously, he's so little. He's going to go back to the back to the bone. He's now standing to the left of me.

He's looking up at me. Now he's making a noise. If I just ignore him, hopefully he'll just go back to the bone.

Oh no, I caught his eyes. I looked down and he, oh no, now he's got me. What? You all right? What do you want? What do you want, mate? Hello.

Oh, now he wants to play. Now he's at his bone. Now he wants to play.

So it's like, you know, sleep, eat, play, go for a walk. He needs to be doing one of those things. I don't know where he is now.

Oh, he's to the right of me now. What are you doing? So yeah, check out ChatGPT. If you just put ChatGPT into the Google, it just comes up and it's it's free to use.

So I've been looking online at some of these AI websites and it's pretty phenomenal what some of the things that can be done. And there's one called Dali. It's D-A-L-E.

And it can make pictures based on like the type of art and a certain artist. And, you know, so you could say elephant on the moon wearing a sombrero in the style of Beethoven or some other famous artist. Or maybe a painter.

And it would do that. It'll make a picture. It's pretty amazing.

There's some, there's some amazing stuff out there. So yeah, I'm just I'm really only got my, my little toe in there at the moment. But I'm made me to get my whole foot inside at some point.

I really want to learn how to use some of this stuff because I think it really is the future. And I don't think it'll be long before we could just type in. What's he doing now? I just realized what that sound is.

I bought him from the pet shop. I bought him a snake, like a not a proper snake, a toy snake. And it's got a squeaky toy inside.

It's furry on the outside. But on the inside, it's got like plastic or something. I literally thought he had a carrier bag there for that.

And he's enjoying playing with it. I just got it for him and he's playing with it. So that's good.

However, it's a bit noisy. I don't think I'm going to want him playing with that when I'm watching television or making a podcast. Anyway, I think I've bored you enough for now.

I'm gonna I'm gonna go and have some dinner. I'm gonna cook myself some dinner. I cooked my dinner yesterday, set two days in a row.

So I'm gonna try and make it three days in a row. I've actually cooked myself a meal. I don't know what's going on with me.

But hey, I might as well embrace it. So thank you for listening. Thank you for your messages.

If you've got any messages, just contact me either on Facebook. Or I've been locked out of Twitter. I seem to have locked myself out of Twitter.

That's really noisy isn't it? I might have to get rid of it. How can that? How can a fluffy toy sound like a carrier bag? That's ridiculous. He clearly likes it because he's really he's trying to bite the face off.

So I don't know he's he probably will rip it to bits at some point. And I'll be able to chuck it away. Wow.

He loves biting things. He loves loves chewing on things. Such a blessing.

So yeah, I'm gonna go. Thank you for listening. Please remember to be kind to yourself.

Be gentle with yourself. You know, just have a I know it's not easy sometimes to take things. Like right now I want to when I stop talking, he stops doing it.

When I start talking again, see it's not always easy to to take a break from things. And this is so he's winding me up now. I'm getting rid of that snake Vinnie.

Which is a sentence I never thought I'd say out loud. And it's worth I'm trying to be serious about it's hard because it's making me laugh. It's worth taking some time out every day.

And this might be part of that taking time out listening to me rambling on about nothing. But take some time out. Some space where you just being nice to yourself.

You know, you're taking a break from everything. Whether it's you know, watching a movie, listening to some music, having a bath, whatever it is just having a nice meal. Chucking a toy snake out of the window, whatever it is that that you that makes you feel relaxed and gives you some time out.

It's worth it. It's worth doing. So take care.

Lots of love. Bye. You're quiet now now the recording stopped.

Yeah, now you're quiet.
