Ep. 343 Today's Peep Presents Great News! Number One at Night, Chasing a Talk Radio Dream, Built Trust with Listeners, Beat the Odds, and Became #1 by Staying Human

We celebrate a rainy October Friday, reflect on the long road to a nightly talk show, and share the data that proves listener loyalty. From a near-syndication in 2020 to today’s #1 TSL rating at night, we lay out what trust, timing, and community have built together.

• walking update and fresh momentum
• thanks to listeners and small businesses
• podcast–radio synergy and growth path
• early career drive and delayed talk opportunity
• the elevator conversation that led to the show
• audience pushback when a Thursday hour was replaced
• switching from humor to crisis coverage on demand
• syndication attempt halted by 2020 layoffs
• Nielsen ratings explained: cume vs time spent listening
• being #1 in TSL among adults 35–64
• producing the show without an editorial producer
