Rarefied Company

Todd and I are awful at promoting our podcast, which is too bad because it’s pretty good. It is also in the top 5% of podcasts internationally. According to a recent survey, only about 5% of podcasts have been in production for 10 or more years.

We may not have the listenership of Marc Maron nor the gift for profiting from controversy that Joe Rogan has, but we show up every week and have for more than a decade. It’s worth bragging about.

Todd and I did our first live podcast in 2011 in Burley Oak to the utter bafflement of everyone. Some were waiting for us to play music, others thought we were a local radio show. LITERALLY NO ONE understood the word podcast. Eventually, we just started telling people it was an internet radio show.

It’s Delmarva after all.

As we say in our opening, Todd drinks because he gets to live here, I drink because I have to live here.

More than a decade later, we still show up.

While more than half of the country has listened to at least one podcast, only about 25% of Americans listen weekly. Adjust that for Slower Lower and it’s gratifying that we have as many listeners as we do.

If you’re one of them, thanks for showing up every week. If you’re not, just know that when you do show up, we’ll be there (even if we’re in no condition to drive).
