Estimated, confidence 60%: Apple Podcasts shows 1,323 ratings, which falls in the 1,000 to 5,000 band (20,000 to 80,000 downloads); the show is under two years old so the band is not shifted up, and the high publishing frequency, Libsyn hosting, and a 9/9 Podcast Index popularity score are consistent with that range.
