Estimated, confidence 60%: Apple ratings_count of 1,245 maps to roughly 20,000 to 80,000, shifted down because Apple ratings accumulate slowly and the show is 500 episodes long, so the band is moderated to 5,000 to 25,000 per episode; the Podcast Index popularity of 9 and the frequent release cadence were also weighed, and the low confidence reflects the absence of download data.
