Hello everyone. You're listening to the Earful Tower podcast. My name is Oliver G. Today in the studio is Lena Nordenjee.

Hello. She has requested a new nickname for the lovely Lena nickname's been a long too long. She's been, she's requested to be called the Mad Moose from Sweden. I think she should be the Stockholm Sting or the happy herring.

But it's neither here nor that. She's my wife. She's the guest today. And the reason that I

wanted to bring Lena in is because we're doing a bit of a different episode today. I'm going

to explain sort of the 10 or maybe 12 things,

the 12 decisions that I made that helped build the Eiffel Tower,

that helped make it a success.

Is it a bear all episode?

It is a bear all episode, yeah.

But the idea is you're here is you can help keep it light.

You can stop me from, you know,

getting, oh, listen to me. Rambling on. For sure. Okay, I'll do my best. But also, like, it's weird

for me to even say that this podcast is a success. I don't usually use that kind of language.

I'm going to use some language in this episode that I haven't before. And it's very important that I say from the beginning. If you are new here, this is not the episode to

begin with at all. This episode is going to be a sort of summary of how a podcast that started

almost exactly five years ago got to where it is today, which I recently found out it's in the top

0.5% of all podcasts in the universe.

Wow.

In terms of listeners, I think.

Wow, that's worth mentioning, for sure.

Yeah, I can't believe it.

Anyway, also, it's great, actually.
