This is the Potter's Cast.

A podcast home for potters everywhere.

It's a community of potters dedicated to grow their business.

We're picking up where the art degree ends.

I'm your host, Paul Blaze.

My friends, welcome to episode number 995 of the Potter's cast. So stoked. We are coming up on episode number 1,000.

Yeah, here we are. Episode number 995 and now we got episode 1,000 just right around the corner.

Man, that's amazing to me. Couldn't happen without you either.

It couldn't happen without you coming and listening to the show on such a regular basis.

I mean, it blows me away that on average, we now have something like 40 to 50,000 downloads a month.

And that puts us kind of in this crazy place where we're one of the top 5% of all

podcasts in the world.

And in iTunes, in fact, we are like one of the top 50, 40, and 30 are where we kind of fluctuate in the top as far as visual arts goes.

And that just blows me away that a ceramic podcast can have that kind of impact.

We're not the only one there, though.

It's not like I'm patting myself on the back and saying, look at how cool the podcast, which I

totally think is true.

But also, what's amazing me is that there's other podcasts that have come up and they're

showing up regularly on that same chart and showing themselves as being up there

in that same place. So it's pretty amazing. I just love our community. So anyhow, I'm pretty stoked

about that. But because you are such a critical part of the show, I would love to invite you

to bring your voice to the show.
