From Hangovers To Highlights: Our 2025 Wrapped

Send us a Comment, Question or Request, we'd love to hear from you New Year energy, real talk, and a few chaotic confessions: we pull back the curtain on a year that stretched us, surprised us, and reminded us why this show matters. Listener numbers climbed to 3,937 downloads and we crossed the 100‑episode mark, but the most powerful moment wasn’t a metric—it was you choosing our women’s health conversation as the most‑played. We share what that vulnerability cost, why it connected, and how it’s reshaping the way we plan future episodes.We also dig into the nerdy stuff people secretly love: Buzzsprout vs Spotify numbers, where you listen (hello Norfolk, Dallas and Singapore), and what our YouTube start taught us about pacing, edits and the value of candid pre‑show chatter. On the personal front, there’s travel highs and health lows, the thrill of a sold‑out gig, and a creative reboot that brings voice acting, new stories and a proper production umbrella into the mix—plus the practical fix that unlocks more guests: another mic and a refreshed, self‑made intro.Music remains our north star. We compare Spotify Wrapped notes—alternative rock, ska punk, pop rock and instrumental scores for deep work—and unpack what it says about focus, nostalgia and taste. We also wade into AI’s exploding footprint in music and video, why labelling matters, and how we’ll keep the show human: clear voices, honest takes, and topics that meet life where it’s actually lived.If you’re new here, expect warmth, wit and straight talk without the corporate sheen. If you’ve been with us a while, thank you for every listen, message and share. Tap follow, leave a quick review, and pass this episode to a friend who needs a hopeful wrap and a laugh—what should we dive into first in 2026?Support the show
