Estimated, confidence 55%: Apple ratings count of 1,961 points to the 1,000 to 5,000 band (20,000 to 80,000) but the show's long-run rating accumulation and 402-episode catalogue argue for the 200 to 1,000 band, so the range is set between the two; Podcast Index popularity 9 and weekly cadence support the upper half.
