We Hit 400 Episodes, Beat Our Goal, And Lay Out What Comes Next | Ep 400
Four hundred episodes later, the mission feels bigger than ever. We’re celebrating a milestone we once thought was years away, reflecting on eight years of recovery, and sharing how a no-budget project earned listeners in 100 countries and 1,000 cities. The throughline is simple: real stories deliver real help. When people hear lived experience—messy, honest, and practical—they find the courage to keep going.
We dig into what’s working across platforms, from steady growth on Spotify to the promise of more consistent updates on X and fast-moving TikTok Lives for time-sensitive topics. Our publishing arm steps into a larger role too, with Voices for Voices Publishing expanding titles like the Atalan comic and the Mythical Creatures Around the World catalog. We explain why we keep our shows free, how book sales fuel the mission, and why scaling responsibly matters when the goal is broad access to mental health and recovery support.
We also take a firm stand on creative integrity. Plagiarism and copyright infringement erode trust, mislead consumers, and drain value from the creators who do the work. You’ll hear how we’re holding bad actors accountable, from bookshelves to theme park concepts, and why public transparency and proper attribution are essential to a healthy creative ecosystem. Looking ahead to 2026, we outline how we’ll retool formats, strengthen community engagement, and stay focused on a singular aim: help three billion people find tools, hope, and a voice.
