189 new episodes in your feed: the back catalog is filled

Ben apologizes to podcast subscribers and says 'you're welcome': he has backfilled the entire catalog, so listeners woke up to '189 new episodes' with no way to suppress the flood. He thought they were at episode 580 but this is 603; of the whole archive only two shows have no record - the second and the ninth they ever did. On podcast longevity: most people don't make it past a year or 30-40 episodes; 'sheer will and stupidity has kept this show a running.' The foreign bots beating on the feed make the hit counts look big - 'thank you, Pakistan.'
