0:00.0	Well, hello there it's Antries, and welcome to another episode of the Savvy Painter
0:08.3	Podcast.
0:09.3	You know, until I started my own podcast, I had no idea how much work it takes to keep one going.
0:15.6	That's why so many podcasts disappear so quickly.
0:19.0	Did you know that the average podcast lasts less than six months and even when you include mega hits like
0:26.8	NPR Serial or This American Life or one of my favorites on Being. All told, the average podcast gets less than 300 downloads per episode.
0:39.7	Sabby Painter averages more than 7,000 unique downloads.
0:44.6	And there's even some that are 25,000.
0:47.4	Apparently, I'm doing something right.

1:15.6	handling promotions and social media and marketing, and still responding to listeners.

1:26.2	on the interviews. Guess who does all of that for Sabby Painter. I do. It's me, all by myself. It's a lot of work. They also have people who edit the
1:36.6	podcast handle the sound engineering, write the show notes, upload the final episode for
1:41.8	distribution, and upload and publish all of that to all of the
1:46.3	podcast channels and the website so that listeners can just click a button and hear an episode.
1:52.7	I work with an amazing company called Podcast Fast Tracks,
1:56.6	who does all of that for me.
1:58.4	And thank God, because if I didn't have them,
2:00.6	I would be curled up in a little ball
