Trigger warning. This podcast contains descriptions of various abusive situations. Listener discretion is advised.

My name is Eric Skrzynski. As a former religious fundamentalist, I'm shedding light on the dark side of the church, from the pulpit to the pews. But I'm not doing it alone. Each week, I'm sitting down with survivors, advocates,

authors, and more to uncover the inner workings of these abusive religious groups, to give

tactical tips on how to escape and to find out what we can do to take them down. You're listening

to the Bridge Boys podcast. Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Preachie Boys

podcast. It is the most wonderful time of the year. Yes, because it's Christmas, but also because

it's the time of year where we get to check out our 24 Spotify Rapp. And so today, I have two things

I'm going to look over. One, I'm going to look over my 2024 Spotify Rapp for the Prechways podcast.

But I'm also going to be checking out my YouTube year in review.

And I'm really excited to share some insights from both of those with you and discover some of them for the first time myself.

So let's get into the 2024 wrap.

Now, for what it's worth, I did read a little bit of this before recording, and it was a little clunky on my phone.

So we'll see how this recording actually goes.

But I'm excited to get into some of the data.

So I gained, I had a 26% increase in listeners.

I had a 109% increase in streams, and I had a 45% increase in followers.

And I have to say it's really cool being now four years into the show, five years, I think,

maybe, that I still have people that are discovering the show for the first time. And people that,

you know, email me and say, oh, I just heard about your show for the first time and people that, you know,

email me and say, oh, I just heard about your show for the first time and I'm finally

checking it out. It's really cool to see that. And it's cool the show's still growing,

honestly, because I didn't expect that when I started the show. Give it up for new fans.
