I've got a new pet peeve. New pet peeve just dropped.
B (0:02)
Oh, no.
A (0:03)
There's something weird to me. When someone posts online a theory, just an idea, they'll present it as, this person just revealed the answer. So one was somebody who's like, someone just revealed the answer to, like, longevity and living a long time. And it's like some woman who's just like, I think that jumping on a trampoline is, like, the most important thing for health. And they're like. They just revealed it as if it was, like, a secret. The whole time they've been. People have been keeping the trampoline secret. And this lady was like, you know, enough with this. I'm not gatekeeping anymore. It's trampolines. But it's really just like, one person thinks trampolines are really important.
B (0:40)
I mean, this is clickbait.
A (0:42)
Anyway, that's a new pet peeve. There's something about that phrase, like, they revealed the answer. So, yeah, maybe we need to use this. I'm revealing the secret to podcast success in this episode. I'm about to reveal it.
B (0:53)
Click, click, click.
A (0:54)
It's actually also trampolines.
B (0:57)
What is it, Alvin?

I mean, the real secret to success. I can't even say it in a joking way. One thing I really like is podcast playback. And we just got our podcast playback, and this is the summary of everything that we accomplished in 2025. I know, Kevin. I knew the development team, they've all been working on this hard for a month, but Jordan and I are off creating podcasts and doing blogs and doing all sorts of stuff, and so we get to see the finished project. And it's just so much fun for me to click through here and just see, like, everything that we accomplished with Buzzcast this year.
B (1:32)
Yeah, I think in, like, years past, I had some sort of access to the process of creating, like, the recap sort of thing for Buzzsprout, and so I always knew what was coming. And then this year, I got to experience it exactly the way that our podcasters experience it, and it was really magical. So I'm excited to talk about this today.

Good. I'm glad y' all like that. It is a big project for us this year because we decided to go in a new direction. So in the past, it's been more like an infographic, like, one long page with a whole bunch of stats that you just scroll down. And that's served us well for six. This is the sixth year that we've done it, and this year, we decided, let's stretch ourselves. Let's push things. Let's try to make it animated. Let's try to make it a little bit more story, like with the, you know, like kind of we set up like a, you know, you've published and then like how many episodes you publish. Like a reveal, sort of like a setup and a reveal. And anyway, it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of new tech for us and I think it came together pretty well. But now we're rolling it out to thousands and thousands of people and we're just hoping nothing breaks.
