00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:08.640
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name is

2
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:14.640
Jason Newland. This is let me boy you to sleep.

3
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.600
Please only listen when you can safety close your eyes.

4
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:34.880
It is the tenth of May twenty twenty five. It's

5
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:40.840
four forty six pm in the afternoon. It's been a

6
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:48.759
glorious weather day really has. The birdies are happy in

7
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:54.439
the trees. Well, I assume they're happy. I mean, I

8
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:57.000
don't know if they make different sounds, if they're miserable.

9
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:00.439
They might be having a really bad day. I don't know,

10
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:09.640
but I like to think they're happy tweeting along what else.

11
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.079
Just let you know. I do have a Facebook group

12
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:20.319
called Jason Newland's Boring Group, which is on It's on Facebook.

13
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:24.760
I got two hundred and nineteen people on there now.

14
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:32.439
It's very popular. It's I do worry sometimes that the

15
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.640
queue I get a bit too long, but it's okay

16
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:41.840
at the moment, you know, people wanting to join, and like,

17
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.319
It's just there's always that like concern that I'm going

18
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.879
to wake up and just like have all these requests

19
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:53.920
I'm going to have to look at and say, oh, yeah,

20
00:01:55.319 --> 00:02:01.000
what happened. Yet, though, I've also got YouTube channel at

21
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.640
Jason Newland. Oh yeah, I posted an old video from

22
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.280
two thy twelve onto my Jason Newland's boring group on

23
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:17.039
Facebook and the picture quality is really bad, but it's

24
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.919
quite a funny video. It's called in Brackett's old video

25
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.400
and then poo out a different pooh out a difficult

26
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:32.759
Person twenty twelve and it's got a picture of me smiling.

27
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.919
I actually laugh while I'm doing it. It's just a

28
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.560
silly video, but it's yeah, you might want to have

29
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.800
a look at it. It's also on my YouTube channel.

30
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.960
You can just search for it. I've got two and

31
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:52.080
a half thousand videos on there nowadays, though I'm mainly

32
00:02:52.360 --> 00:03:00.439
focusing on just uploading podcast episodes as opposed to filming videos.

33
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.479
And what else is there to say? My YouTube channel

34
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:16.759
weren't my my website. I am continuously I'm looking. I

35
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.199
want to put in my details, and I've put my

36
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:24.639
website and I'm actually typed in website. So my websites

37
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.199
I'll continuously make a little changes to try and make

38
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:36.439
it a bit better, a bit user friendly, mildly more useful.

39
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.120
All my recordings are on there. I've got a section

40
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:49.199
for podcasts playlists, contact form, link to the Facebook group,

41
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.719
the YouTube channel, click a link to PayPal, and then

42
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.199
I got a link to the Let Me boy this Sleep.

43
00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:01.360
I'll just put it l mbyts as a review page.

44
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.400
Podcast apps, So if you want to search where I

45
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:13.159
am on Apple Podcasts or SoundCloud or wherever, I've got

46
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.360
one for Q and a Friday which takes you to

47
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:19.360
the Q and a Friday page where not only can

48
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.040
you see all the latest recordings, stream or download, play

49
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:28.120
or download, you could also ask me a question. At

50
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.360
the top of that page. I've got another page for

51
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.319
requested recordings, which you can ask me basically a form.

52
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.480
It's all the latest Basically it's all my requested recordings

53
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.759
on there as well, which you can stream and download.

54
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.160
But also there's a form that you can fill in

55
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:49.439
if you want. I've got a deep sleep whisper hypnosis one.

56
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.079
Why this hasn't barked all day and now it's barking.

57
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:53.399
Hear that?

58
00:04:54.600 --> 00:05:01.079
And now we've got I put the three main maybe

59
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:05.800
not the three main ones, but the two main podcasts

60
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.600
that I think people would generally listen. So I've got

61
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.639
Apple Podcasts, I'm on it. All my podcasts are on

62
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:19.360
Apple Podcasts except Q and a Friday Spotify. All of

63
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.639
my podcasts are on Spotify, so they're also in the

64
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:32.040
menu the latest the latest flame is last week or

65
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.600
the first of the second and mail or whatever it was.

66
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:42.920
Because now the tenth I deleted my SoundCloud accounts thinking

67
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:48.120
it was the right thing to do, And part of

68
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:53.199
the reason is because just financially I've got it's a

69
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.319
bit of a weird one. They've changed me over to

70
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.600
a different payment scheme, which means I'm gonna have to

71
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:05.639
go between now and pretty much a month without any

72
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.319
further money until I get paid. So I was trying

73
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.720
to think ahead, like, okay, what can I cut costs?

74
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.199
But to be fair, it's only I've only saved myself

75
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.360
twenty pound a month by getting rid of the SoundCloud,

76
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:26.040
so it wasn't really much much financial benefit. And then

77
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.759
I had quite a few people contact me where's your

78
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:37.439
soundclad on? So I managed to reinstate the main SoundCloud account,

79
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:42.439
which is SoundCloud dot com Hypnosis with music, and I've

80
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.439
actually got a new image on there now, so I'm

81
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:51.839
very excited about I don't know why. All it could

82
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:55.240
do is actually make people for like no not no,

83
00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:01.120
it's mine now, but Hypnosis for Perass I just put

84
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:06.360
it back to what it was. Should I should? I

85
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.120
just put it back to what it was. I don't know.

86
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:13.839
And then I've got so that that was what I

87
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:18.879
was good. I mean when I uploaded that in the

88
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:23.040
first few days, the first day, so I uploaded it

89
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.600
on the eighth seventh, I kind of managed to get

90
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.399
it back online one hundred and ninety five plays, the

91
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.000
next day five hundred and sixty two plays, and then

92
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.759
three hundred and seventeen in to day forty three. So

93
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.399
I don't know what's happened.

94
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:45.160
That.

95
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:49.240
Then it's weird because on this one so Hypnosis for

96
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.560
Sleeping Deeply Jason Newland, I thought i'd put like a

97
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.360
banner and a different picture this year. You can see

98
00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:02.920
it SoundCloud because it's got a SoundCloud image anyway. There's

99
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.839
four seven hundred and eighty seven tracks on there. I

100
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:13.800
got twenty nine followers, so but that wasn't enough. Then

101
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.439
I've got people saying, where's the where's the other one?

102
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:23.319
Where's it? Let me boy to sleep? And I was

103
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.839
struggling to get that back. I really was, because it

104
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:33.039
was SoundCloud just seemed to be making it more complicated.

105
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.320
They said, well, you got to send it from the

106
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.360
SoundCloud your SoundCloud account email. But when I tried to

107
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.799
do that, it said, there's no response to this email

108
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.519
address that you're sending it. God sending it to the

109
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:49.840
same email address that they were told telling me to

110
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:56.000
reply to. In the end, I managed to figure it

111
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:59.679
out and I got my let Me Boy to Sleep

112
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:05.480
back yesterday, and I've got one thousand, six hundred and

113
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.799
ninety tracks on there, sixty five followers, and it's all

114
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:16.559
up to date now. So I've uploaded all the latest

115
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:24.759
recordings to both of those SoundCloud podcasts, which is good

116
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:32.320
because it took a while to be fair my seconds.

117
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:47.440
Mm hmmmm mm hmmmmmmmm Right, I'm just going to see

118
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:51.080
what the stats are on this one oh a bit better,

119
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.240
so let me boards Sleep. I managed to get it

120
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.919
up on the ninth of May, which would be yesterday

121
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.639
five hundred and twenty three plays and today two hundred

122
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:07.960
and eighty six plays. So yeah, I normally get between

123
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:14.840
the two between the two, well between the three between

124
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:19.240
like Spreaker and sound Okay. On sound Clad, I normally

125
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:26.399
get around two hundred and fifty five hundred between the

126
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.720
two of them, sometimes a lot more, sometimes like a

127
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:34.240
few thousand, but generally on an average day, I mean,

128
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:41.240
I can work this out the last thirty days six thousand,

129
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.960
five hundred and eighty eight. So what's that one, two, three,

130
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.759
I was going to count the days in Okay, so

131
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.919
it's a bit more than what I said. So it's

132
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.720
a little bit more. So I'm averaging three to four

133
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:59.600
hundred a day, plus I miss one, two, three, three

134
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:05.080
days out three and a half days out right, so

135
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.440
it varies. But I don't know six and a half

136
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:13.080
thousand and thirty days. I don't know what that works

137
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.759
out at a thousand day. One hundred day would be

138
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:26.559
three thousand, w wasn't it. Yeah, But they're bearing them

139
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:34.360
when I missed three. So if I go the last okay,

140
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.600
if I do a custom range, I'm sure everyone's excited

141
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:44.039
about the answer to this question. Let's have a look

142
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:54.000
at April April, right, the whole of April confirm eighty

143
00:11:54.120 --> 00:12:00.559
four hundred and thirty five. Okay, so it's quite that's

144
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:04.200
the biggest day that was in April, but the lowest

145
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:08.399
day was ninety two, So it just it variates, really,

146
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.519
But we're looking eight, so there's eight grand eight thousand,

147
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.759
so I don't know, three hundred just under three hundred

148
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:25.000
a day, so between five and six hundred, maybe seven

149
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:30.399
hundred a day for the SoundCloud and Spreaker I get.

150
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.279
I don't know. I was kind of giving you an

151
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.399
idea because I know everyone's really interested in stats and

152
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:47.759
now you can't get enough of it. So we doing April. Okay?

153
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:51.240
Is it May? It's April, isn't it okay? So last

154
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.639
month was April. I got fifty three thousand, one hundred

155
00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:00.399
and sixty nine. Last month, I had a couple of

156
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.000
really this is on Spreaker. Throughout my other podcasts, I

157
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.759
had a couple of really bad days. So the worst

158
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:11.639
day was six hundred and three, The second worst day

159
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.480
was seven hundred and fifty six, No. Seven hundred and fifteen,

160
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:21.360
third worst seven hundred and fifty six, and the fourth

161
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.240
was seven hundred and ninety eight. But the best day

162
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.080
was four thousand, two hundred east the four thousand, three

163
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:31.840
hundred and four, and the second best was three thousand,

164
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.320
six hundred and twenty, and then three thousand and sixty four,

165
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.159
the third best, fourth best two hundred two, eight hundred

166
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.840
and twenty two, and then two thousand, five hundred and twenty,

167
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:48.000
which was the eleventh, So twenty third of April four thousand,

168
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.600
three hundred and four, that was the best day of

169
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:55.799
the month. So it's kind of hard to work it out.

170
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.000
I mean, I would say between Spriaker and this SoundCloud

171
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:09.879
looking average of two and a half, between two and

172
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.799
three thousand a day, I suppose between the two of them.

173
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:17.360
It's just it's a difficult one to work out, really,

174
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.840
to be honest with you, because if I go back

175
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:25.039
to the other podcast, so if I sign out of

176
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:33.159
the I signed into the main podcast for Spreaker, it

177
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.440
might be it might be it might loud, it might

178
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:37.480
be less, but I think.

179
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:57.720
Is more.

180
00:14:51.279 --> 00:15:00.320
Mad noway, oh blah, okay, right, you want to me

181
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.559
to do a little test, do a little tests to

182
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:04.240
make sure that.

183
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:08.320
I'm who I asked say, I am not. Anyone's going

184
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:15.240
to actually pretend to be me, right, So I do

185
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.840
the last thirty days. Bearing in mind there was two

186
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:24.240
days off eight thousand, six hundred and nineteen on spreaker

187
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:30.000
on SoundCloud. What was it on the other one? Was

188
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.360
there around the same was it? I don't know, So

189
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:43.480
fifty fifty eight eighty eight sixteen thousand, fifty six sixty thousd.

190
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:47.279
It's about sixty thousand a month. I suppose no more

191
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:50.120
than that, isn't it fifty seventy About seventy thousand a month?

192
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:56.840
I suppose sixteens Roughly, it's about seventy Roughly about seventy

193
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:02.240
thousand downloads a month between the two between the three podcasts,

194
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.559
or between the three the SoundCloud and Speaker and the

195
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:12.720
different podcasts have gone Spreaker, so I'm still not a lot.

196
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:17.399
Seventy thousand. It's not even a million a year. It's

197
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.240
I'm not moaning, but I am moaning. On a let's face,

198
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:27.720
I'm moaning. I mean, if you look for the last

199
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:43.000
since last June, what when I had my whole this

200
00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:48.919
is weird, okay, And I do wonder why I don't

201
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:54.759
just go back to doing this because I was getting

202
00:16:54.919 --> 00:17:04.880
so many more Why am I even with Spreaker. Honestly,

203
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.240
I was getting so many more plays when I was

204
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:13.319
on SoundCloud for all my podcasts, when I just had

205
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:20.720
everything connected to my SoundCloud podcast. So you might think, yeah, yeah,

206
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.480
BlimE me. You wouldn't believe it compared to what I'm

207
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:29.759
getting now. It's almost I didn't realize how embarrassing it was.

208
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:34.279
I'm a little embarrassed. I'll be honest, I am a

209
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:43.720
little bit a little bit. So I had speaker, I

210
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:47.279
had I was on speaker for not the whole of

211
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:54.039
twenty twenty four. So I do a custom range? Whoa

212
00:17:55.039 --> 00:18:05.960
twenty twenty fifteen? Blimey, it started off twenty fifteen. I

213
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.880
think it's because I've been I've been on SoundCloud for decades,

214
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.839
to be fair. So yeah, so what two thousand, let's

215
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:22.279
go for twenty twenty four? Twenty twenty four. Life is weird.

216
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:27.960
It's like, I wonder why I started there. Perhaps it

217
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:30.000
was just going back to when I started being on

218
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:42.480
there twenty twenty four. So let's start one to confirm. Oh, no,

219
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:54.559
custom range twenty twenty four to now. So let's see

220
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:58.319
if this will give it to me? Will this give

221
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:06.480
it me? There's no tenth for May really all time?

222
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:13.480
Why can't I do that anyway?

223
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:15.559
In June?

224
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:20.079
So it's given me a year. Last June twenty twenty four,

225
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:25.799
I had all my podcasts on Spreaker. I had basically

226
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:35.319
I had all my podcasts focused on other than it

227
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:40.079
let me Boily sleep ones. I had them more focused

228
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:45.559
on the one Spreaker SoundCloud app, on the one SoundCloud account.

229
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:53.119
And in June last year I had three hundred and

230
00:19:53.160 --> 00:20:03.680
eighty two thousand, eight hundred and twenty nine plays and July, see,

231
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.599
I don't know when I started. When did I start?

232
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:12.720
Last twelve months, when did I start having my podcasts

233
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:21.759
on to Okay? It was September. I moved back to Spreaker.

234
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:29.799
It was September, so admittedly that was a really good month.

235
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:35.160
The next month, which was so July August. These are

236
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:42.640
the two months and I was half in speaker. Wow. Yeah,

237
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.599
one hundred and fifty, four hundred and forty four plays

238
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.440
in July last year one hundred and six, eight hundred

239
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:54.279
and fifteen. That was August. So these are like million,

240
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:58.799
well over a million a year based on this, I

241
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:05.599
mean for the whole that year, the last year, bearing

242
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:13.799
in mind that I'm only getting but last month I

243
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:18.519
got nine thousand, six hundred and sixty plays March nine

244
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:23.000
thousand and seventy eight thousand, seven hundred and February ten,

245
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.559
two hundred and twenty three, so it gives you know

246
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:33.160
I wasn't getting but In October I was getting one

247
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:39.799
thousand and five, one hundred and fifty seven thousand. I

248
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:43.319
was still half half, That's what it was. In November

249
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:47.480
I completely changed all the way over and it went

250
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:53.640
down halfway through. And yeah, December, December was busy anyway,

251
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:58.000
So it's oh no, I think I went back again.

252
00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:02.400
I went half back. BlimE me, I'm going to change

253
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.680
it all back to just going to SoundCloud. I might

254
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:09.160
as well. Might I mean, what what is the point

255
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:14.759
in if I'm getting more listeners on SoundCloud? I posted

256
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.599
my stuff on there, and all my stuff is posted

257
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:29.839
on there anyway, what do you think? Any ideas, any ideas,

258
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:38.799
any opinions, lah, blah blah lah. It's just weird to

259
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:42.480
look back and think, you know what I've this, I

260
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:48.319
was reaching more people before. I just I don't know.

261
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:58.079
I like both three hundred and eighty two thousand. It

262
00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:01.680
wasn't just that. That's kind of bugged me a little

263
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:05.119
bit is the amount of plays I've got on some

264
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:10.240
of my recordings. So two nine hundred and ten plays

265
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:16.440
my Q and A Friday one one three seven and

266
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:21.079
one thousand, six hundred and forty one for another one.

267
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:25.680
Let me boy, to Sleep two four hundred and fifty

268
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:28.920
eight plays for another one let me boardly Sleep in

269
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:33.359
August last year two thousand and five hundred and seventy

270
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:38.039
seven for Q and a Friday nine hundred and forty

271
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:45.000
one for Healing Thursday. The thing is right, I don't

272
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:52.640
get individual recordings, don't get thousands of plays anymore when

273
00:23:52.640 --> 00:24:01.400
I'm on Spreaker, which is making me wonder why am

274
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:04.400
I in Speaker? You know what, I'm going to do

275
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.440
this while I'm on the phone. I nearly said on

276
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:09.680
the phone, I'm going to do this while I'm on

277
00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:13.119
the making this record, and I'm going to go through

278
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:21.839
the process of making these changes. Now, I don't think

279
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.559
I have to worry too much because first of all,

280
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:32.359
I will change the feed so that the how many

281
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:39.039
people realistically are actually going to Speaker, you know, if

282
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:42.079
you really look into it, like really look into it.

283
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:48.079
So how many, even in the last thirty days, how

284
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:54.599
many people have been listening directly on Speaker one hundred

285
00:24:54.640 --> 00:25:02.000
and seventy two compared to Apple Podcast four hundred forty,

286
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:09.880
nine hundred and forty seven and Spotify on Spreaker three

287
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:13.160
hundred and two. Now, I know a lot more people

288
00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:17.599
listen to me on on Spotify than I can, you know,

289
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:30.599
because they listen to the SoundCloud. One oh, so let's

290
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:35.599
go for the whole, the last twelve months. So two

291
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:38.960
hundred and forty and twenty three that's what I got.

292
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:49.799
Can you imagine twelve months? Admittedly, May, May, June, July, August,

293
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:54.240
I didn't really have anything on spreaker, September a little bit,

294
00:25:54.400 --> 00:26:00.279
October little bit, then November properly, so it was kind

295
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:04.599
of like half half in September and October. So we're

296
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:07.519
going one, two, three, four five. It's six months, really,

297
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:12.960
but two hundred and forty thousand, it's four hundred. It's

298
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:18.359
not even half a million a year. I was getting

299
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:23.640
that in a month four years ago. And I'm not

300
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.680
saying that in a bittery way. I'm just no, And

301
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:33.279
that was bitter. Yeah, it wasn't sweet. I'm jealous of myself,

302
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:35.799
That's what it is. I'm jealous of my older self.

303
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:40.000
But in all fairness, I mean it's good to say that.

304
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:43.200
I think it was during a period where people weren't

305
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:47.599
allowed to lead their houses, so I kind of had

306
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:51.839
a captive audience kind of back then. I had no

307
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:59.599
idea how people found me, but they did, and I'm grateful,

308
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.559
grateful that they did find me. The thing is this

309
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:11.039
all because it's costantly fifty fifty fifty fifty fifty fifty

310
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:20.680
fifty what's it? What's the other fifty pound for? I

311
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:22.720
might get rid of the website for a little while

312
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:27.359
until I yeah, I might get I might close the

313
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:31.039
website down until I get my finances sorted. So that'll

314
00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:37.359
be a that'll be a I don't think the way

315
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.240
it is. I mean, I don't get a lot of

316
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:47.319
If this sounds chaotic and just need to just assure

317
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:51.640
you that because it is. No, it's it's just I'm

318
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:54.279
just thinking this. I'm just thinking out loud, that's all

319
00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:57.880
it is. I don't get a huge amount of people

320
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:04.000
visiting my website and should we go for the last month,

321
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:09.480
the last twelve months? Okay, no one else in the

322
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:12.480
world probably would tell you this stuff about their websites.

323
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:16.079
They try and make out well so popular. I get

324
00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:21.119
millions millions of viewers to my website and visits to

325
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:27.319
my website every single minute. I don't. Although I was

326
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:30.720
watching one of my old videos from two thousand and

327
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:35.799
ten where I'm talking about getting a couple of hundred

328
00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:41.440
thousand visits to my website a year. So my website

329
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:43.559
back then was way more popular than it is now.

330
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:53.319
And I don't know why. Yeah, strange in it. So

331
00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:58.319
I must have been doing something something, well, something right.

332
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:04.640
Even I would argue, not like fully argue. I wouldn't.

333
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:08.839
I wouldn't stand up, you know, I wouldn't. Wouldn't be

334
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:15.440
that that important to me. I wouldn't. Yeah, I wouldn't.

335
00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:21.039
I wouldn't argue. Really, I wouldn't argue. But I spent

336
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:25.039
too much time on that talking about arguing. I wouldn't

337
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:32.400
argue that I forgot what I wouldn't argue about. Oh well,

338
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:35.960
I mean, so I've had one point four I've had

339
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:41.160
two thousand total visits in the last twelve months now.

340
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:53.079
Admittedly those last twelve months have been since January, oh

341
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.359
pretty much since February, so it hasn't been the last

342
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.839
twelve months has been March April May through three months.

343
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:05.480
So yeah, this is not really you know, I can't

344
00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:10.920
really if I say ninety one days, yeah, that's kind

345
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.240
of how long it's been three six ninety one, So

346
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:22.960
two thousand views pers visit, three views of the web.

347
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:26.960
Of the pages per visit three three page views per visit,

348
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:32.400
total page views five point about six thousand page views,

349
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:39.400
and the most popular visit is just the main page

350
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:49.880
unique ex Okay and ironically, which never used to be

351
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:56.000
the case going back centuries, United Kingdom is the top

352
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.519
list of people visiting my websites. So I've got five

353
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:04.200
hundred seven according to this, five hundred and seven unique

354
00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:15.079
visitors and from the UK, four hundred and ninety unique

355
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:19.440
visitors from United States, one hundred and twenty three from Australia,

356
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:30.799
thirty from Switzerland, Canada twenty nine, Spain twenty So I'm

357
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:38.720
thinking perhaps I should get rid of that website. Do

358
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:39.759
I need a website?

359
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:41.119
Really?

360
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.839
Do I? I don't know. I thought it was good

361
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:50.480
to have a website. Just maybe it's not needed, right

362
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:56.880
Ben Day. Ben's just posted a comment. This is from

363
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.359
my Pooh out a Difficult Person video. Ben's says, you

364
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:05.039
look so different, l You've aged well, Lad, you know

365
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:07.960
what's weird, because I mean it's not a clear picture,

366
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:11.640
because it's I'm basically at that time I was living

367
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:15.880
in Okay, not a dungeon. Bob was underground. It was

368
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:19.720
horrible there was no light, no natural light coming in

369
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:25.000
at all because it was below ground, so it was

370
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:29.559
I had to have these lights on and the camera

371
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:34.920
wasn't very good that back then. I mean it's still

372
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:38.440
got probably got a few thousand views on YouTube at

373
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:43.079
the time, but it was just Yeah, you can make

374
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:46.519
out from the image or from the video that I

375
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:52.519
have pretty much no gray hairs, or if I do have,

376
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:58.359
its minimal like minimal, and I think it was more

377
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:01.400
noticeable for me and I look at it is the

378
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:07.319
lack of gray hairs in my beard and also smiling,

379
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:14.799
and i've from the looks of it, are way less.

380
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:20.039
I probably didn't, it's just the angle of it. But

381
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:26.319
it's strange and young girl, and you think two thousand

382
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:31.640
this pic this poo A difficult person was twenty twelve,

383
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:37.359
so that's thirteen years ago. It would have been shortly

384
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:40.480
after I moved in there, so I probably was lighter

385
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:43.440
because I put on I did put on a bit

386
00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:48.799
of weight. I think once I started taking medication. I

387
00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:53.079
think the in about twenty thirteen fourteen weather, I think

388
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:58.359
my weight did go up a bit, which can apparently

389
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:03.400
can happen. So yeah, I'm always looking for ways to

390
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:10.000
not take responsibility if it's all possible.

391
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:18.440
Oh, yes, yeah, that's all.

392
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:21.760
What should I do? You don't normally get to see

393
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:27.960
me in this mode of I'm doing this to try

394
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.239
and the more people I reach, the more people I

395
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:33.760
can help. That's the bottom line. It's not about anything

396
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:48.760
else but that. Mm hm m hm hm. Okay, So

397
00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:57.159
what I'll do. Here's here's the process. I can turn

398
00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:02.559
it back, but here's the process I'm going to do,

399
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:06.760
and they'll both be running at the same time in

400
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:10.800
a sense. In a sense. But what I need to

401
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:17.800
do is settings. Where there settings. I don't want to

402
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:23.960
delete my account, plan and billing info. So I'm basically

403
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:30.880
on the a command before your before your subscription term expires,

404
00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:40.119
Speaker will regularly renew your plan. Will will regularly renew

405
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:48.239
your plan, so I can cancel subscription. So it costs

406
00:35:48.239 --> 00:35:55.280
me fifty fifty dollars a month at the moment, and

407
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:59.760
that's with a fifty percent off discount code. So should

408
00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:02.360
be oh is it?

409
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:10.239
No?

410
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:24.159
What free one month for the ankle? Right? So why

411
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:34.679
I'm on the anchor man pro right anyway, it's costing

412
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:39.800
me fifty dollars a month for Speakers so I'll do

413
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:45.119
if I cancel a subscription, I understand I don't want

414
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:50.199
to continue with my podcast anymore. Other if I just

415
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:53.719
put can't afford it, maybe they'll give me a discount

416
00:36:54.760 --> 00:37:00.840
and cancel pro plan. So it councels on June the second,

417
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:04.719
So it's not really going to make a huge difference.

418
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:10.719
But then I'm not being BlimE me. I've been with

419
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:17.199
them for so many thousands of years. I'll tell you

420
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:22.960
when I first started with Speaker thirteenth of October twenty eighteen,

421
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:28.039
and at the time I was paying five pounds ninety

422
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:34.679
nine a month. Horace is here, Who are Horace? Who

423
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:41.559
are Horace? Hello? He looked at me, Hello, Hello, Horace,

424
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:45.119
rights go on. He likes to just come and say

425
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:48.599
loo and then he goes. He's been doing that for

426
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:55.000
ten years. So I paid five ninety nine a month

427
00:37:56.199 --> 00:38:03.800
in October at twenty first canceled it, don't huh. And

428
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:10.840
then I went back and I was paying thirteen ninety

429
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:14.760
nine a month because I got a discount, And then

430
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:18.519
I was paying twenty one ninety three a month in

431
00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:23.280
January nine, twenty nineteen. Then February twenty nineteen, I was

432
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:35.039
paying thirty four ninety nine a month, and then thirty

433
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:39.679
four ninety nine. Yeah, so all the way through twenty nineteen,

434
00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:44.599
I was paying thirty four ninety nine a month. And

435
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:47.760
then because I had so many recordings, I had to upgrade.

436
00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:53.840
So in August twenty nineteen, no, yeah, August twenty nineteen

437
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:56.679
I started getting paid. Started bill in.

438
00:38:58.400 --> 00:38:58.559
Oh.

439
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:01.920
No, I paid nineteen nine dollars for the customized mobile

440
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:04.599
app for Android.

441
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:06.159
Ooh.

442
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:10.760
That was on the April first, August the FIR and

443
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:15.960
then August fifteenth, my recurrent payment didn't go through because

444
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:17.920
it was not enough money in my bank account. Oh,

445
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:21.800
and then the next day it was in so thirty

446
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:27.119
four ninety nine. And it happened to same the next month,

447
00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:37.400
so twenty nineteen, thirty four ninety nine, October November. So

448
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:41.800
November it went up to forty four pounds one pence.

449
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:48.880
Then December it went up to seventy two dollars because

450
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:54.840
of the increase in space I was using, really, so

451
00:39:55.079 --> 00:40:05.159
seventy two dollars through twoenty twenty, and then yeah, that

452
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:09.760
was with a discount as well. And then from November

453
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:13.679
twenty twenty I was paying one hundred and twenty dollars

454
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:18.199
a month, so my discount ran out, so I was

455
00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:21.400
paying one hundred and twenty dollars all the way through

456
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:33.119
twoenty twenty one. Wow BlimE me, And then so all

457
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:43.159
the way through twenty twenty two, two thousand twenty three

458
00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:58.440
until okay. I canceled in November twenty twenty three because

459
00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:06.320
I canceled an October twenty twenty three because they'd taken

460
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:10.280
loads of my stuff off because it had music. And

461
00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:12.280
I went back and I canceled it again because I

462
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:16.320
was just annoyed because they changed the rules again and

463
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:19.760
first of all, it couldn't have loud long periods of music,

464
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:25.599
then couldn't have any background music at all. Just they

465
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:27.519
kept missing it up. So I went back on a

466
00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:33.400
lower plan ten pounds a month in February twenty twenty four,

467
00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:44.159
and then I ended up June twenty twenty four ten

468
00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:49.679
pounds ten dollars, August twenty twenty four, twenty dollars, September

469
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:54.000
twenty twenty four to twenty dollars. I've got a discount,

470
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:58.679
so I canceled it in October twenty twenty four, went

471
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:02.000
back with a discount, got it down to fifteen dollars.

472
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:07.159
Then I canceled again, and then I came back in

473
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:13.360
December twenty dollars twenty twenty four, January twenty twenty five,

474
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:23.920
twenty and February to twenty five dollars March twenty five

475
00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:29.679
April twenty five this year May twenty twenty five fifty,

476
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:32.119
so I had to go up. I got yeah, I've

477
00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:36.519
got fifty percent discountsis now it's fifty and now today

478
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:50.239
it counceled. So what I might do? Get rid of

479
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:52.480
the website for a while. Do I need the website?

480
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:57.519
Is it important? Is it relevant? I do like the website,

481
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:03.440
but at the same time, I don't know how how

482
00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:08.440
useful it is based on how many people visit. You know,

483
00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:13.440
you know what I mean? You know what I mean?

484
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:18.159
Uh uh uh uh.

485
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:43.360

488
00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:08.400
I'll do it all right done. So here's my plan.

00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:16.039

got one website with two hundred and fifty podcasts available

496
00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:56.880
because I was just putting all the different podcasts in

497
00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:02.440
and but this makes it a little bit easier. Maybe,

498
00:45:03.960 --> 00:45:06.400
so I'll just take the podcast off, just have one

499
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:10.119
podcast on there and the rest can.

500
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:18.639
I don't know, I don't know. Would you think I

501
00:45:18.679 --> 00:45:24.440
don't know. I'm a little bit, you know, a bit

502
00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:35.920
I don't know. So you could change it. Change it

503
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:40.960
so it'll change your next payment zero June the second

504
00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:45.199
so day. If I confirm, confirm, you have too many

505
00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:55.159
podcasts to select this plan, remove some podcasts to continue.

506
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:57.480
All right, So what I'll do is I'll have to

507
00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:07.480
delete all the podcasts. Only have one podcast. Hmm, I

508
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:10.480
mean I only really need one podcast, but I might

509
00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:14.679
not really even need the website. Maybe I just cancel

510
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:21.039
the website. Yeah, I should cancel a website. So what

511
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:26.920
we do counts and settings bill in bill in history.

512
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:33.199
So I'm gonna have it before. But I started off

513
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:38.639
this year for a pound January thirty of twenty twenty five,

514
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:42.920
gradually went up and up and up and up and

515
00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:47.679
up and up and up and up, and it's gonna

516
00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:53.360
be It's now fifty five pound. I just had a

517
00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:58.400
phone call just then. A neighbor that's called me said,

518
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:05.960
I've had a delivery. Yeah. Wait, you telling me? But

519
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:12.000
it's outside of the door. Yeah. Usually deliveries are usually

520
00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:16.360
left outside the door. Can you look after it for me?

521
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:24.199
I said, no, Oh please, I said, no, don't want to. Oh,

522
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:27.480
you just collect it so no one steals it. I

523
00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:29.320
said no, I don't want to leave. I don't want

524
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:30.079
to go outside.

525
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:37.320
We're busy. Please be your best friend, I said, are

526
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:41.480
you being serious? She said, what do you mean? I said,

527
00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:42.920
will you really be my best friend if I go

528
00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:49.199
and get it? Ah, well, I don't understand what you mean. No,

529
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:51.960
you said you'll be my best friend. Is that a

530
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:56.559
firm commitment? Is that a genuine promise that you will

531
00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:59.280
actually be my best friend? If I go and collect

532
00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:06.639
your package from the outside your flat, and you'll be

533
00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:10.079
in my life every every every day, and we'll talk

534
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:14.679
about stuff and express feelings, and you know you'll support

535
00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:19.440
me and I'll support you. She said, forget about the

536
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.679
package that I don't care someone steals it, and she

537
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:34.800
hung up, So I think what I need to do first?

538
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:37.679
So I get rid of Facebook. Not getting rid of Facebook,

539
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:45.480
I'm just deleting it from my screen and podcast page

540
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:52.119
if I get rid of that, right Apple. It's actually

541
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:57.159
quite weird because she phoned just as I was picking

542
00:48:57.239 --> 00:49:02.320
up the phone to look at it. Because when I

543
00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:18.760
when I log into Apple Podcast, Apple h Apple Podcast Connect.

544
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:24.519
When I look into that, as well as signing in,

545
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:31.119
it also sends a thing to my mobile phone, which

546
00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:36.960
is good really, it does that. I'll remember me continue

547
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:55.039
with password. I got so many different passwords. Right. That

548
00:49:55.239 --> 00:50:02.000
was the noise of the phone to when people, I mean,

549
00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:04.440
hopefully doesn't happen anymore. I don't know. I'm not really

550
00:50:04.519 --> 00:50:06.000
around humans very often.

551
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:05.920
But.

552
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:10.000
They'd have that that noise or do do do do?

553
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:11.679
Do do do do.

554
00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:15.400
Every time a text came through, and it'd be going

555
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:24.719
on for hours constantly, not with me. It didn't. I

556
00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:28.239
can't allow it. I can't allow it. That's a new thing.

557
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:31.000
Young people allow it. So that's a new kind of

558
00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:36.400
phrase that apparently some younger people are saying allow it.

559
00:50:39.880 --> 00:50:45.760
What I said, I want a new bike. Allow it

560
00:50:45.800 --> 00:50:51.679
is okay, in what world does that work? Right? So

561
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:57.800
I'm now into the So this is podcast Connect, which

562
00:50:57.840 --> 00:51:01.920
is where all my Apple podcasts are. Bear in my mind,

563
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:06.360
this is this is kind of the the gold place.

564
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:14.400
All of my Apple podcast all of my podcasts on

565
00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:20.400
Apple are connected by an r SS feed. I will

566
00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:26.840
tell you what that means. It's it's what's it called.

567
00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:28.960
I know what it is. I know what it means.

568
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:39.360
It's really simple syindification RSS, really simple syndification. So what

569
00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:43.400
it does is I guess what it says on the tin.

570
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:46.119
I suppose if it had a tin and there was

571
00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:55.039
a label. It's really oh there is. So each podcast

572
00:51:55.159 --> 00:52:08.679
on my speaker podcast is connected to the those ones. Now, uh,

573
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:15.280
what I could do is what I did before. But

574
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:16.639
I don't know if I want to go back to

575
00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:24.679
doing that again just because I will get more views

576
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:27.360
or more listens, which is kind of the point. Isn't

577
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:31.639
it really to reach a larger audience? For some reason?

578
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:38.760
When I had all my podcasts directed towards SoundCloud, or

579
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:42.000
all my podcasts were on SoundCloud and they were directed

580
00:52:42.039 --> 00:52:58.920
towards Podcasts Connect or Apple podcasts, it pretty much Yeah,

581
00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:06.639
it kind of did the job. I don't know. I

582
00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:16.920
don't know, because technically I don't really need lots of podcasts.

583
00:53:17.480 --> 00:53:19.159
I should be able to get by which just one,

584
00:53:19.199 --> 00:53:29.320
shouldn't I really, but I tend to Perhaps I could

585
00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:34.840
have both, have both, but at the same time I

586
00:53:35.079 --> 00:53:39.960
have one that's not working. Is it okay? Unless I

587
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:49.320
had this SoundCloud? He was making weird noises. Just then

588
00:53:49.400 --> 00:53:53.960
I thought, is he okay? He's cleaning himself and he

589
00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:57.760
was just temporarily looking up trying to snatch her trying

590
00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:01.320
to buy a fly. He doesn't get modered up between

591
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:04.559
the fly and is the bits he's cleaning, Otherwise it's

592
00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:11.760
going to be a vet visit. How did this happen?

593
00:54:11.840 --> 00:54:17.760
Mister new Land vin his daddy. Well, he was cleaning

594
00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:23.840
himself and there was a fly who has been hunting

595
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:28.800
for about two days now, and he kept jumping up

596
00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:31.000
to catch the fly and then going back to lick himself,

597
00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:38.199
and then he forgot which one he was doing. Maybe

598
00:54:38.199 --> 00:54:42.599
the fly landed on the area that he was cleaning, possibly,

599
00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:52.440
and that's how he became a eunuch. So I could

600
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:53.239
I could have?

601
00:54:53.239 --> 00:54:53.519
Could have?

602
00:54:53.559 --> 00:54:56.880
Could have? Could shall I? Shall? I just make the

603
00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:01.119
jump and go back to get and three hundred thousand

604
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:12.239
downloads a month instead of the seventy that I get. Now, yeah,

605
00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:19.440
it makes sense, doesn't it really makes sense. It's a

606
00:55:19.480 --> 00:55:21.199
weird one. It's hard to kind of.

607
00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:26.159
I don't know.

608
00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:29.400
I don't know. So let's have a look. What is

609
00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:35.320
the settings? Where's the contents? The RSS feed? There is,

610
00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:44.000
so I can literally change every single one except anything

611
00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:47.079
connected to let Me Boyd to Sleep, what they let

612
00:55:47.119 --> 00:55:50.280
Me Boyd to Sleep ones. They will be on the

613
00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:54.599
let Me boys Sleep. Everything else will be on the

614
00:55:54.719 --> 00:56:01.360
hypnosis of sleeping deeply because that's where that's where everything is.

615
00:56:01.400 --> 00:56:10.440
Really Yeah, and then I suppose I could maybe try

616
00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:26.480
and get the Speaker one down reduce the reduce m hm, yeah,

617
00:56:26.559 --> 00:56:31.840
I don't know. Right, let's do it anyway, see what happens.

618
00:56:33.239 --> 00:56:39.719
This show does not contain third party content, so.

619
00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:41.320
Which is true.

620
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:50.239
So let's go. But the problem is mm hmmmm mmm

621
00:56:50.360 --> 00:57:03.000
mm hmmm. Yeah, I don't want to. That's the problem.

622
00:57:03.679 --> 00:57:10.599
I just don't want to because at the moment I'm

623
00:57:10.679 --> 00:57:14.480
using Speaker, I'm using their music, their background music for

624
00:57:14.639 --> 00:57:19.039
my podcasts, which means I have to change the music

625
00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:19.840
I use.

626
00:57:26.559 --> 00:57:26.920
I put.

627
00:57:27.280 --> 00:57:31.199
I've put a lot of hours into the website as well,

628
00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:44.400
so for that to go m hm, So really, let

629
00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:59.760
me just have a look. So I don't even know unique.

630
00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:03.599
I suppose I could just I could go back to

631
00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:13.119
using Kevin McLeod music and could do that again, go

632
00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:16.800
back to that. I think I saved them. I hope

633
00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:21.760
I haven't deleted them. Players don't say I deleted No,

634
00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:25.239
I don't want to have deleted them. I don't know

635
00:58:25.320 --> 00:58:34.679
why I am doing this. What's this highly threatened rare

636
00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:39.639
bird of prey spotted near where I live? I mentioned

637
00:58:39.639 --> 00:58:42.800
that the other week? Didn't I didn't I work? Didn't

638
00:58:42.800 --> 00:58:47.760
I mention that I've seen too? Not just one? There's

639
00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:56.639
too Oh doesn't it very big? A rare red footed

640
00:58:56.719 --> 00:59:00.760
folcon has set of ripports center ripple of excitement through

641
00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:07.199
birdwatcher's community after being spotted locally. The sleek, dark winged

642
00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:13.800
raptor was photographed by Fsex bird watcher Thomas Harris after

643
00:59:13.880 --> 00:59:18.960
being spotted this year. The majestic bird was uplisted from

644
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:24.119
near threatened to vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of

645
00:59:24.280 --> 00:59:31.039
Threatened specks. Species native to Eastern Europe and Central Azure.

646
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:36.320
Red footed falcons are extremely rare visitors to the UK,

647
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:44.559
making any sighting an extraordinary event, especially in spring. With

648
00:59:44.840 --> 00:59:53.880
their flight, gray plumage, red legs and underpants underparts and

649
00:59:54.199 --> 01:00:01.039
agile flight males are especially eye catching. It's a bit sexist.

650
01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:05.280
They are smaller than kestrels but share a similar fluttering

651
01:00:05.679 --> 01:00:12.119
hunting style, often hovering or swooping for insects in mid air.

652
01:00:13.360 --> 01:00:19.000
Photographer Thomas Harris, who captured the falcon on camera, said,

653
01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:23.320
we are very lucky to have the spurrowed nearerby. This

654
01:00:23.679 --> 01:00:27.320
was a female and they are typically found in Eastern

655
01:00:27.719 --> 01:00:33.960
Europe and Azure and spent. They spend a winter in Africa.

656
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:37.559
Esch a bird I've been wanting to see for many years,

657
01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:42.800
so I am all the moon to finally see one.

658
01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:43.320
Oh.

659
01:00:44.119 --> 01:00:51.599
Red footed falcons are listed as one listed as Red

660
01:00:51.880 --> 01:00:57.320
footed falcons are listed as of conservative conservation are listed

661
01:00:57.400 --> 01:01:00.880
as of conservation and concern across Europe. I don't know

662
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:05.880
if that sentence works for me. With natural habitats converted

663
01:01:05.960 --> 01:01:12.679
to agricultural fields, pesticides, poisoning, blah blah blah, so number

664
01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:18.239
of suitable feeding and breeding sites are dwindling and he

665
01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:22.199
has the last word, mister Webbs's name. They are extremely

666
01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:28.719
rare visitors to the UK. And I'm so happy. Can't

667
01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:35.480
you tell that I am dancing? So yeah, one of

668
01:01:35.519 --> 01:01:42.000
the city's oldest companies may retire after a hundred, one

669
01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:49.679
hundred and eighty years. It's a decorating center or building

670
01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:52.800
center decorating one hundred and eighty years that have building

671
01:01:52.880 --> 01:01:59.039
firms one hundred and eighty years ago. I thought we

672
01:01:59.079 --> 01:02:09.960
all lived in ditches and like wigwams and stuff. Oh no,

673
01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:15.599
imagine they had tent shops. But I don't know. M m.

674
01:02:19.400 --> 01:02:20.599
Oh, well, I don't know.

675
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:26.079
So after all this chitter chat looks like I'm not

676
01:02:26.079 --> 01:02:37.440
making any changes whatsoever. Isn't that strange? Probably not the thing,

677
01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:46.840
is right. I do sometimes sometimes have a little habit

678
01:02:47.920 --> 01:03:00.440
of making changes and then thinking ooh, you know, it's

679
01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:08.079
like ooh, wish I hadn't done that now, But then

680
01:03:08.199 --> 01:03:13.199
thinking about it. If we look at the statistics, so

681
01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:18.519
I'll be getting a speaker like two thousand plus today

682
01:03:18.800 --> 01:03:22.960
five hundred and twelve. So it's been a very very poor,

683
01:03:23.400 --> 01:03:27.079
very poor day. Oh yes, but if we go for

684
01:03:27.199 --> 01:03:31.679
last day days, the different podcasts. Hypnosis for Sleeping Deeply

685
01:03:31.760 --> 01:03:34.199
is the top one. Let Me Boil the Sleep's the second,

686
01:03:34.199 --> 01:03:38.800
top deep sleep. Whisper hypnosis is a third, top relaxed

687
01:03:38.840 --> 01:03:44.719
sleep hypnosis daily four, Chronic Pain Hypnosis five, let Me

688
01:03:44.760 --> 01:03:48.280

689
01:03:48.320 --> 01:03:55.440
pleased about. Stop smoking hypnosis next, Then Monday Sleeping Boring Objects,

01:03:56.719 --> 01:04:02.360

691
01:04:03.559 --> 01:04:10.719
Relaxation for stress and panic attacks. And then some of

692
01:04:09.760 --> 01:04:13.079
the playlists as well, like one hundred and fifty one

693
01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:17.719
to two hundred Relaxation for Stress and panic. You've got

694
01:04:17.800 --> 01:04:24.840
Jason's Bedtime story Time now bitit in Q and a Friday.

695
01:04:25.639 --> 01:04:37.760
So actually it's it's growing, and some of the ones

696
01:04:37.800 --> 01:04:40.519
that I wasn't getting much traction with are now getting more.

697
01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:45.119
So you know what, maybe I should just chill out

698
01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:49.920
a little bit, just, you know, just not make such

699
01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:58.039
a big deal about everything. Let Me Bore the thing

700
01:04:58.480 --> 01:05:03.280
Hypnosis Stress anxiety. I deleted that one. Did I brilliant?

701
01:05:03.599 --> 01:05:10.159
Why did I do that? Sleeping Somny hypnosis was deleted

702
01:05:10.199 --> 01:05:15.559
as well. Great, that's in last year. Relaxation Hypnosis deleted.

703
01:05:16.679 --> 01:05:19.960
Oh dear, what did I just go through these periods

704
01:05:19.960 --> 01:05:24.039
I delete? These were These are quite popular podcasts as well,

705
01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:29.199
So why did I delete them? I don't know. And

706
01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:35.800
yeah another one ASMI let Me Boys Sleep deleted that

707
01:05:39.039 --> 01:05:52.519
Jason Newland Hypnosis deleted, AH Sleeping Somni Hypnosis deleted. Now

708
01:05:52.719 --> 01:05:57.599
these are ones that were doing okay, So I guess

709
01:05:57.639 --> 01:06:02.320
I was trying to just consolidate them into like one thing.

710
01:06:02.440 --> 01:06:07.800

717
01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:50.440
if you know, all things considered, provide I just continue

718
01:06:50.519 --> 01:06:54.599
to do what I'm doing. It just can just continue

719
01:06:54.639 --> 01:06:58.559
to grow. So maybe I'll get back. You know, there

720
01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:01.920

722
01:07:05.639 --> 01:07:08.760
me the stats. It'll only give me them. The last

723
01:07:08.840 --> 01:07:13.760
twelve months or so I think it's. Yeah, only I

724
01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:18.960
can only do stats for from yeah, for the last

725
01:07:18.960 --> 01:07:29.480
twelve months from the first really yeah, only twelve months,

726
01:07:31.199 --> 01:07:35.199
which is a shame. But I do have I do

727
01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:41.400
do do total downloads for Spreaker since twenty eighteen, fifteen million,

728

five so I've all in all, I've had over twenty million,

730
01:07:51.880 --> 01:07:56.119
