The Books of Thoth made the charts again. This time, we’re the number 13 science fiction podcast in Ukraine. If it helped bring people comfort, and get their minds elsewhere for a bit, and off the war, then I’m happy that The Books of Thoth has found listeners in Ukraine. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

As many of you know, I run a blog called The Audiophile . For years I dream of surpassing 1 Million Page Views. Well, that day has come at last. I got my 1,000,000 views at long last. I’m eternally grateful to all my reads. And yet, as I stand on one mountain, I look to the peak of another.

Hey gang, if I could have a moment of your time. It would mean a lot of you could like and share this post. Podcast Delivery decides who gets in their newsletter based on engagement levels. And it would mean a lot to get more eyeballs on The Books of Thoth.
