When I started podcasting almost 2 years ago I wasn’t sure that I was going to be able to stick at it. Finding guests, interviewing guests and then editing the conversation was pretty time consuming. Then I read that 60% of podcasters give up after less than 10 episodes which seemed like a challenge!

Through this podcast Tribe Sober has connected with people from all over the world and our membership is becoming more and more international!

So next week we celebrate our 100th episode so a huge thank you to our listeners who have helped us to get this far! If you are new to the podcast then welcome – and if you’ve been with us from the start then thank you! In either case we’d love you to leave a review.

So this week I’ve delved into our podcast download stats and highlighted the most popular podcasts – our top ten!
