Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Kevin O’Keefe asks: I LOVE the weekly episodes with Joel. I started binge-listening to them backward from the most recent to the first one. Can we call someone who has listened to all the weekly episodes the 100 percenter club? But serious question. I think everyone should listen to the weekly shows; it just rounds out the knowledge, and you guys add so much to the individual episodes. I really feel like the knowledge level has doubled from listening to your commentary on the episodes. After talking through all the different episodes, is there one episode that you would want to do again to correct or change things, etc or one episode that really launched so many more new episode ideas?

First, thanks for the shoutout for Everything Everywhere Weekly. It is the weekly recap show that Joel and I record every week, where we cover the previous week’s episodes. We will talk about things that didn’t make it into the episode and often go off-topic into other subjects.

Everything Everywhere Weekly is available on Patreon to all tiers of supporters starting at just $2/month.

Completionist Club members who have also listened to every episode of the weekly show can append an oak leaf cluster to their membership.

As for which episode spurred the most episodes, I have no clue. It would have to be a very broad subject, perhaps the episode I did summarizing the Mongol Empire.

However, if you listen to the weekly show, you can listen in on the thought process for how episodes are born.
