Estimated, confidence 50%: 533 Apple ratings suggest the 200 to 1,000 band (5,000 to 25,000), but the show is over five years old in the feed and the Podcast Index popularity is broad; the estimate is adjusted down for a niche religious history audience and a biweekly cadence. Confidence kept at 0.5 given the mismatch.
