Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
Kristen asks: I know you try to make Encore episodes the least listened to episodes, but I’m curious how many fewer times they’ve been downloaded? Thank you! Love your show ?
An episode’s download count has nothing to do with whether it is selected for an encore episode nowadays. The process is mostly random. When I run one, I just look for something interesting that was published at least one year ago.
The truth is, there isn’t a whole lot of variance in episode downloads. There is some, but it isn’t enough that I’d make decisions around it. Moreover, if I did use downloads as the criteria for encore episodes, I’d pick more popular episodes, not less popular ones.
