       | This week two years ago, I launched my fiction podcast The
       | Program audio series on HN. Since then, the show grew to 22
       | episodes and has recently surpassed 300,000 downloads. I wanted
       | to mark the occasion with the third instalment in a series of
       | articles chronicling the show's growth. I write these updates
       | primarily with the HN audience in mind - HN is still my 3rd
       | biggest source of traffic after Twitter and Reddit, and there are
       | multiple members who were instrumental for the The Program's
       | success: bberenberg, gnicholas and maneesh for sponsoring
       | individual episodes, hendi_ for being the Program's most generous
       | patron, narrationbox for their synthetic voices, and of course
       | everybody else who gave the series a listen and helped it grow.
       | 
       | Feel free to comment if you have any questions about the article
       | or the show.

       | The Program Audio Series is available on Spotify, but you need to
       | do the right search. If you search for "The Program" you land on
       | something completely different. You need to search for "The
       | Program Audio Series" to get to the podcast described here.

         | you can access it over RSS?

       | My first collaboration with another HNer was with IMS and The
       | Program. I remember reaching out to him to see if he would be
       | interested in working together since both his series and my
       | technology were popular among HNers. He was game, and now BeeLine
       | Reader is available on his website and transcripts for The
       | Program.
       | 
       | Since then, I've done collaborations with other HNers, and there
       | are a couple more in the works. Love this community (and The
       | Program, which comes for us all)!
