      Its theme based. At the end of every show I announce the theme for next week’s, then the suggestions come pouring in via Mastodon.

      Tonight’s theme is covers, and I currently have 5 1/2 hours of suggestions to dig through.

        Seems like a lot of suggestions for just 15 people… Sounds like you might have more listeners than you think.

          Yeah, what @[email protected] said. I stream with Owncast, so can see how many are online. On average it’s 15. But yeah, I seem to get around 30 listens per episode on Mixcloud during the weeks after.

          This week’s theme is cover versions, which everyone loves, so I’ve had an unusual number of suggestions. One guy dropped about 20 at me.

          All in all it’s a nice, manageable number for me. I’m very aware that if I had 1000 people throwing suggestions at me each week I’d feel like I was drowning and would almost certainly get scared away from it. While it’s something I fit in around a full time job, that is.

          15 people probably listen to it live and then the rest look it up on mixcloud.
