So, what are we starting with this week?

0:02.0

Are we review? Dead wrong. Oh. Dead wrong. We're starting with a little bit of Spotify, because I want to tell you guys my Spotify. You know, you guys have been on Spotify recently, haven't you? I do have an account. Okay. Well, if you go on Spotify, we'll find out that we are actually number 42 in the top UK science podcasts. Whoa! Isn't that nice? That's great, isn't it?

But I think it'd be really cool if we could move up.

So why don't we talk about this in a little bit, maybe in a few weeks, and see if we've moved up.

We've also got 7,497 followers on Spotify, which is amazing.

And I think the next time we talk about this, when we look at the chart again, what we could do is maybe shout out a Spotify follower. So if you follow us on Spotify, screenshot your little follow button saying that you followed us, tweet it to us at Cyguyspod on Twitter, or you can send it in an email, slyguyspod at gmail.com. Whatever. We'll shout you out on the show. Maybe.
