#273 Let me bore you to sleep - Jason Newland (10th December 2019)

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland and this is Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes and if you've got nothing else less boring or more boring to do. Does that make sense? Anyway what I thought I would do, well first of all say hello, hope you're all well and I thought I'd do a bit of website stuff while I'm talking to you and go through some of the bits that I do.

I do this occasionally and it's not, I suppose you could say it's multitasking and there is sometimes I do think you know I've just spent three hours doing this online and I could have been talking while I was doing this but I don't want to get in the habit of doing that you know because well it's boring but then it's supposed to be boring. I have to get my head around this. I've been doing this for it's nearly two years now doing these podcasts to Let Me Bore You To Sleep.

I think I started about January possibly February 2018.

I can't remember but it's I still struggle to get my head around the idea that it's boring and it's supposed to be boring and there's a little bit there's a part of me wants to make it interesting you know there's a part of me all right there's a part of me that actually doesn't want to come across as being boring but that's the whole point of it you know this oh I kind of I suppose it's the ego you know I kind of I like to think that there's some of you sitting there or listening

lying down thinking oh that Jason he sounds lovely and he sounds he sounds so interesting oh oh I'd love to love to meet him I think he'd be amazing he's so so interesting but in reality that's not what this is about and also I'm not um no one has ever no one has ever and I don't even know why I'm laughing I should be crying no one's ever described me as being interesting I don't think anyone is ever like I don't imagine there's anybody saying you know that Jason oh I hope he comes hope he

comes to dinner you know to the Christmas dinner family Christmas dinner he's so interesting he's got so many interesting things to say because I don't really I'm more like a rebound off of what other people say um you know as far as like conversations go um yeah hmm so if you listen every day which I know some some of you do you will be you might be aware that I mentioned my website at the beginning of this recording when yesterday I mentioned that I'd I thought I'd got rid of my website well I did but

it's up again I never deleted it I just paused it if that makes sense it's kind of uh I paid up to the 18th of December for the website so I can I can delete it and start it again as many times as I want and I don't lose any of the content unlike with GoDaddy because it's with Shopify the I also started thinking I was in bed I spent a lot of time in bed recently and I've made a new rule up a new rule or if I feel tired and I want or if

I want to lay down in bed then I just do without feelings of guilt or anything like that I just do it and it's not about falling asleep sometimes it is a case of just being with Andre because he likes to sleep on my bed and I just quite like to be close to him sometimes and it's like you know I don't cuddle him because he doesn't like to be cuddled when he's asleep he likes to be left alone but unless he decides to sort of cuddle up to me sometimes I like put my hand

on him and you know stroke him and stuff and other times I'll have my hand he'll actually lay on my hand so you know but then when he does that there's times when I think just get off me leave me alone you don't like me touching you so you shouldn't touch me no I don't but I find that quite cute there's this it doesn't show very often with him but I think this I think he's got a lot of love in him but he's just I think the naughtiness takes over and it's quite weird I

just I just I really feel like we communicate like gives me a glance and I know that he's telling me that he wants his dinner or he wants me to change his water he always lets me know when he wants me to pick him up when we're walking he's found ways he does basically he's trained me to do certain things and you know it's this I don't know I think it's quite cute it's quite cute um so today's Monday and I've got the the last things of my I ordered some I ordered some after Christmas

I ordered some stuff online on the catalogue Christmas presents for family members because I just don't have the money to buy anything so I ordered it and I'll pay it back you know over time and I thought I'd get myself a present because um I've got for my dad I've bought an Amazon Echo or Alexa Echo thing I got one of those for my brother and for my sister as well so I've got three of them for each of them for their houses for my for my little brother my other brother he I've got him

an Apple travel kit you know like an adapter kit for plugs and stuff because he likes to he goes away with his girlfriend to different countries and stuff like usually once or twice a year and he's really into his gadgets so I got him that so that's a hopefully useful gift for him for the twins I've got a set of like it's a Toy Story walkie-talkie so they're my niece and nephew and they're twins and they're I thought what what what could be a really cool present for to buy for the two of them that

they can share a walkie-talkie set so I got that and that's quite cool and for my little niece I've got a crayon set it's like a case of crayons and stuff inside and for my other niece the older niece I'm just going to give her some money so that would be um she's like 11 or something now so she'd probably appreciate money more than presents and she can kind of do what she wants with it and so I'm waiting tomorrow to get the Apple my brother the little brother's present I say little he's 40 41

or something now but he's and he's not little either he's big strong fella but he's younger so I kind of call him my little brother and he's taller than me and but most people are so hey my dude was pointed out to me the other day that it's not a truthful statement is that the most people are because there are millions of babies and they're all smaller than me so yeah it's true and what I was going to say yes I've got these I've got that coming tomorrow so what I thought because most of the

stuff I buy is for the flat or it's not for me and so I bought a microwave it's for me but it's not it's not it's it's kind of a useful thing you know it really is because I've I'll just tell you about the microwave in a minute but so I got a microwave a few weeks back and I had to get a new kettle and a new toaster so I got those and I got a Breville toast thing you know where you can make toasted sandwiches I've always wanted one of them so I got

that so you could say that's for me I kind of can I when it's something involves cooking I don't class that as a pleasurable thing it's just to me in a sense that's just feeding the toilet you know so it's a it is it's almost it's it's a present for the toilet so I think air freshener would probably be a better present and the other things I've been getting a hold of like stuff for the coat racks and shed again not really for me when it's all put together you know when I've got the soundproof

and then that will be for when I make the you know other recordings that I do although I do have soundproofing in this room in the living room I've got soundproofing all the way across three walls and then there's some on the other wall as well so I'm hoping that that I hope it because I'll make these recordings I hope it sounds all right I know it's quite low um volume but that's the volume that I talk at I'm a quiet talker unless I'm talking to someone outside and there's traffic going by because you kind

of got to talk louder and I don't like that because that I don't like how my throat is when I do that does that make sense it kind of feels a bit um a bit a bit so yeah I don't like the uh I like my throat to be nice and gentle if that makes sense just just soft and and anyway what I've what I've done I thought I'll get myself a Christmas present again I won't pay for it until I figured I could pay for all this stuff by probably August next year should all

be paid off and so I'm gonna I've got myself some headphones and some really good ones which the reason for it and again it's not really it's partly pleasure partly um I would say necessity in a sense of when I go out I got I got very sensitive hearing and so when I'm in public the I get a little bit overloaded by you know sensory wise with my hearing so auditory overload or whatever you want to call it so if I'm on a bus you know with all the chatter people talking or maybe the if

I'm on the road walking and all the traffic in town people talk you know it can just be a little bit um I just don't enjoy it and it affects me it affects me so I've got some headphones but they go in your ear and they're really good but you know they're great if you're sitting somewhere but if you're walking around they well for me I just keep falling out like I keep pushing them in just to make sure they don't fall out so they're great if I'm sitting here watching telly late at night I

have I have the headphones on so I don't um so I'm not you know making noise and stuff and also sometimes I like to watch films on quite high volume even though I'm not really into loud sound there are times when I am and that would be more in a like a movie setting you know and also when I'm listening to music so I've got Amazon um Amazon music you know the unlimited or whatever it's called you know where it's £7.

99 a month and you pretty much get hold of practically every album there is nearly so I have that so in the evenings or at night time sometimes I listen to that as well I listen to music if I'm doing something on online so I use the headphones I've got and they're really good it's really you know they're good quality and everything but when I go out they keep falling out I mean the other the other day last probably about three weeks ago I had my coat on I think it was the first time I

had my big coat on because I hadn't needed it until then so maybe it's a month ago I suddenly realized that my left ear thing is it they're wireless so they haven't got any wires connected which is what wireless means and it was missing and I was looking around couldn't see where it was I was on the bus and the lady or the female the lady or female she was a girl I don't know the human female behind me the girl I mean she was she was young so she was a girl she couldn't have

been more than about 16 17 and she said oh it's on there and it was on the floor but I'm not sure she was going to tell me I'm not sure she was going to have that I think I'll have that because you can use them just with one headphone but uh no she said oh it's there so I got it and I don't like picking stuff off the floor and then put it into my ear just you just think of that picking something off the floor and putting it inside your ear sounds wrong doesn't

it so anyway I've got these new headphones and they're over the ear ones but they're really good ones and that's my Christmas present for myself because I deserve I deserve it and I was going to say I've worked hard this year but um it's been it's been a challenging year and I've definitely made a lot of recordings and hopefully helped people to get to sleep with my boring stuff and so yeah that's my Christmas present to myself or I might class that as my Christmas present from Andre but I'm not going to put them I'm

not going to wrap them up because I want to use them straight away or should I wrap them up for Christmas I could couldn't I no no I need them because I need to get I have to go on a train in a couple of weeks because they're noise cancelling so not only will I they cancel the noise from outside of me outside of me you know the the surrounding sound but they're also they're supposed to be really brilliant quality sound as well and they're not allowed for people near me so the people near me

can't hear what I'm listening to which is pretty good it's very difficult though because with the headphones I've got at the moment the wireless ones I can't hear whether or not other people can hear it because whenever I take one of them out my ear the music stops so I want to take it out just to see whether or not I can hear it myself but you can't because it only works when it's in my ear and I don't want to be I don't want to be one of those people on a on a bus

with like loud music blaring out because it's just not fair is it not fair on other people but although I remember I had a neighbour I've had lots of neighbours I've had lots of neighbours that have been very generous with their music over the years but I had one before I moved here and on one level I wanted to complain because music was too loud but on the other side I was like I really liked what he was playing so I used to sit in bed just lay down and listen to his music because he

used to play really good stuff and he never used to do it like late at night or anything he'd just have a little hour burst every sort of on a Saturday afternoon or something so yeah it was that was a weird one like part of me like oh how dare he but oh that's that's good oh yeah sort of playing the jam and some madness and late 70s early 80s oh that was my early childhood I remember those songs have a quick drink so actually what I'm going to do while I'm here on the laptop

so I'm back on Facebook and Twitter again so all I need to do is make sure I don't get caught up in the old in people's stories I just find it a little bit full-on sometimes you know because I don't generally I'm really on Facebook just to share my sessions I don't normally talk too much about what's going on in my life not that there's really ever much going on in my life but but I suppose I do when I make these recordings but you know and so look okay so I've got a message I've

got a message oh what does the message say what does the message say okay Jason I want you you're just too good to be true um okay it's from Rachel and it says you got everything back so my this is one of my listeners hi Rachel and uh so let me just read out a couple of messages a message from Megan I got and she had a bit of problem with listening to it on Spotify but she said I absolutely love the Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcast until I fall asleep that is so

that was nice hi Rachel uh hi Megan and and Juicy hi Juicy that's another person thank you for your podcasts uh thanks to you I'm able to get a good night's sleep again you aren't boring but focused on your voice helps me to get relaxed and eventually you hear that train in the background they don't do it during the day but one o'clock in the morning like it is now and you can say well what am I worried about because I'm not you know I'm awake but it's not it's not always you know I'm thinking

about other people other people that are trying to sleep and you know you need to get up in the morning so I so I think and it's a Juicy my my father was Italian your voice is so comforting thank you so hi Juicy so these are a few people I just want to say thank you to for the messages you leave and for the you know the kind words and to listen really so the next one I want to say hello to Melanie Mel Mel Melons Mel Mel Melanie and oh so that's I tell you

Alice hi Gemma Alice and this is uh she's this is a message she sent in October hi Jason I'm back with a story to tell you so last night I introduced my mom to your let me bore you to sleep podcast on Spotify she said she found your voice very soothing and something she thought would help her to fall asleep so she was listening while in bed but was still awake at 3am because she found you so funny not to worry though she said she'll be listening during the day instead while she's driving no no

I added that bit though um that's the problem that's the problem being a superstar you know it's uh hi Gemma Alice um Gemma Alice I don't know if it's Gemma or Gemma Alice but it's been listening to me for a long long time I think years and years and Brayden hi Brayden Brayden Barry hey Jason just wanted to reach out say a huge thank you for what you do I discovered your channel many years ago and to this day your videos are still one of the few things that helped me fall asleep just wanted to

let you know you are appreciated and I hope you're doing well so hi Brayden so another person sent me a message here this is from Shelley and thank you so much for helping me get through my loneliest of days thank you and just love your voice it's so calming you're my best friend that I've never met that's lovely isn't it what a lovely message so that's from Shelley and the next one see this is quite cool this person isn't saying how great I am which is a shame because you know I do like to hear

that of course um I do need people's approval obviously this is from Lee Ann it says I hope you're doing okay no updates for a few days which is atypical looking for a post or something indicating you're on holiday so this was back in July and basically she's just checking up on me checking up that I'm okay because I hadn't because I'm I don't know what level you'd need to be to be called prolific but I kind of kind of near there aren't I in some ways the amount of recordings I make in a month

is quite a lot like 40 or whatever uh maybe more so that's really nice because just ask you know seeing just checking up if I'm okay that's that's really that's really kind so I hope that Lee Ann again I don't know if it's Lee Ann or it's Lee Ann I don't know but anyway the next one so hi Lee Ann next one is Bim and hey just want to say thanks for your podcasts they've meant the world to me thank you this one was uh the relaxation hypnosis for anxiety and panic attacks or as I

see it friendly and life-saving insights and that's beautiful thank you thank you Bim so I might have read some of these out before but I'm just saying hello to those that listen another hello to Noel my good friend Noel and I'll tell you about him one day actually um I'll tell you how he helped me in fact I might tell you now I might tell you now and and another message from Elisa that's a a friend of mine ex-girlfriend actually from a long time 20 23 years ago so I can't be that bad can I

if ex-girlfriends from that long ago still want to keep in touch hmm I wonder why um so Hannah say hi to Hannah um Hannah Nelson and she's just sort of saying thank you and you know for what I do I'm gonna say hello to Krista she says I think it's a woman Krista is that could be a man couldn't I think it's a lady but doesn't matter you have helped me so much which way which okay this is just basically talking about patreon and donating money and stuff but you've helped me so much so that's

great hi Krista that's that's why I do it it's why I do it it helps me as well I I'm a believer of and I don't know it might just might just be a personal opinion but I think I believe truly truly truly believe that the best way to help yourself is to help others but the most important thing any of us can do well not any of us then most important that I can do because it's not it's not my place to tell anyone else what to do but the best thing that I can

do is to help others or to try and help others that's the the best thing that I can do with my life and I'm not into the whole kind of you should do this and you should you know that's what I hear when people start saying that yeah yeah yeah it's not it's not my place we've all got our role in life haven't we and some people take a long time to find out what it is that they they feel they're here for some people perhaps never really find it some people find it very early

in life some people find it and then they find another thing and then another thing so it's we go through periods don't we there might be a period in your life where you're a carer for someone or a period in your life when you're a student and that's the most important thing and that's what you need to focus on or getting enough money together to pay for a mortgage endowment policy you know so you know it's all bringing up children whatever mine is just talking absolute rubbish into a microphone so that's that's my gift to

the world it is uh what's the name brad brad is sending me says um okay he's asking for recommendations it's asking about like which is the best one what best youtube video and then at the end he says p.

s my ferret will be named andre if i get one see andre is famous this is from canada so brad in canada andre i would say i might be wrong because obviously i'm not i've not looked into it i would say andre is probably the most famous ferret as far as regularly talked about and people from all over the world hear about him because i've got a worldwide audience there's only seven people but it's from seven different countries that's worldwide you know so oh yeah what i was gonna tell you i was gonna tell you

oh this is exciting the other day i mentioned that it's these you know i've got six i've got 35 podcasts 35 different podcasts but six of them are popular excuse me i just did the big belch there by the way no one's contacted me or commented on my uh hiccup removal technique i did the other day which i thought was pretty impressive i'm just mentioning it just just just pointing it out it's quite amazing so um this podcast is i've got one two three four this is the fourth most popular podcast out of the six

or out of the 35 but out of six so but then because i've got three that are over a hundred thousand one's hundred and well well over a hundred thousand now this one's about 80 81,000 or something and the other day i was said that i do get more than that because these recordings are also posted on the three other podcasts so i decided i was going to look into it further because i wanted to see because i was kind of saying this stuff and i was pretty much making it up or i was guessing

the numbers because i didn't really know but i kind of was figuring that you know i was getting just as much on the other podcast as i am on this particular podcast well i looked into it and it turns out that in november last month on the let me bore you to sleep podcast this this just this podcast i had 5405 downloads and i don't know how many plays but just i just focused on the downloads it's 5405 and you know it's like that's not a huge amount it's a nice amount it's growing it goes

it dips and it grows you know it changes and it's really weird i'm looking at my curtains and there's actually a face the curtains are all crinkled up crinkled so it looks like a little face that's nice and and the it's a 5405 so what i did i looked at my hypnosis for sleeping deeply podcast and my sleep insomnia hypnosis podcast and the jason newland's free hypnosis service podcast where i also post all of my let me boy to sleep recordings and between all of them in november i had 16,000 five blimey that train why

is it so loud look if you've got any complaints i think that someone is just annoyed because they're on a night shift there's no reason to be making that much noise at night mind you i do have the windows open so that might not help not i mean how could they see the windows are open though you may think so 16,571 downloads in november last month so five thousand so it's another 11,000 added on to the amount that i have just on the podcast and i worked out how much that would be a year if

i got that like every month and it works out about 198,000 downloads a year just for the Let Me Bore You To Sleep recordings that ain't too bad is it i'm quite pleased with that i know it's gonna grow but you know it's it's like it's continuously growed since last november is when i first um put these onto the podcast i'd had them previously so i'd had thousands of downloads already but i'd got rid of that podcast and i started another one and then um i've kept the spreaker podcast for a year well over a

year now it was the 21st of november and i just it's like wow 16,571 um and i was thinking because i looked at some of the dates so episode 200 248 so number 248 to number 263 those are the recordings i did during november 2019 it says 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 so that would be about 16 probably 18 hours worth of me talking because i normally go over some i quite often go over by about 10 minutes or 20 minutes sometimes but how many

just say there was 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 so 16 recordings so i only did half of the month so i didn't do them every day and just looking at the stats for the different days and for the hypnosis sleeping deeply podcast i got 297 downloads for 200 for the uh i'll just go i'll go down the i'll list the 13 so from the 248 to 263 so for the hypnosis sleeping deeply day um number 248 i got 297 downloads then 273 399 267 number 252 i

got 423 downloads 373 downloads the next one the next one is 326 downloads 302 downloads for 255 number so let me boy this lead 256 i've got 375 downloads the next one i got 375 downloads as well again then episode 258 are 342 downloads 321 downloads and episode 260 i got 423 downloads 261 i got 445 downloads 288 downloads and then lastly episode 263 got 307 downloads so that was during november and for the sleep insomnia hypnosis i got for episode 248 i got 284 downloads 249 episode i got 268 downloads for episode 250 i

got 344 downloads for episode 251 i got 257 downloads for episode 252 i got 342 downloads for episode 253 i got 351 downloads for episode 254 i got 311 downloads for episode 255 i got 307 downloads for episode 256 i got 332 downloads for episode 257 i got 324 downloads for episode 258 i got 307 downloads for episode 259 i got 303 downloads episode 260 385 downloads episode 261 i got 319 downloads for episode 262 i got 246 downloads for episode 263 i got 291 downloads so the sleep insomnia hypnosis i don't for the looks

of it i'm just kind of scanning it i don't get as many downloads as i do i might be wrong they might add up about the same but i seem to i didn't get any over 400 but with the hypnosis for sleeping deeply i got one one two three over 400 and one one two three now for the Jason Newlands free hypnosis service i don't get many many downloads at all on there generally but for the but for the sleep hypnosis recordings for number 248 i got 39 downloads episode 249 38 downloads you see it's

a heck of a lot different isn't it it's like probably 10% of what i would get with the others 250 41 downloads episode 251 31 downloads episode 252 36 downloads episode 253 36 downloads again i wonder if it's exactly the same 36 people there's no way of knowing really is there episode 254 37 downloads episode 255 42 downloads episode 256 48 downloads episode 257 51 downloads episode 258 33 downloads episode 259 49 downloads episode 260 53 downloads episode 261 51 downloads episode 262 33 downloads and episode 263 41 downloads so altogether 16 571 i kind

of would like to go through the whole year but that's that'll take ages and ages and ages but i'm quite pleased with that get rid of that piece of paper because i'm just looking at the stats now and it's been a fairly good day really and i've had it's now a different day it's a 10th of uh december now and i think it swaps over about half one one o'clock in the morning and so according to this yesterday i had 200 no 2266 downloads and 26 plays but that's often adjusted you know the next day

so it might be a couple hundred more but i just wonder what's the so the jason learned jason newland free hypnosis service i've had 18 386 total downloads so i don't get hardly any plays or downloads really yesterday i got 62 all in all and eight plays and there was a time when that's all i would have that's the only podcast i would have but you know it changes it's uh i'm kind of trying to go with what is wanted oh the 28 days stop smoking hypnosis course that's now 11 059 downloads downloads again it's

not many a day though i had two so far today 16 downloads yesterday 31 the day before so it's but then there's only there's four episodes plus another recording so it's it's all right i suppose but all the others are pretty quiet there's the chronic pain 30 day relaxation plan yeah two two downloads yesterday five the day before so that's 30 days but they're just short recordings it's 2263 in all i'm always looking out just to see if there's a a bit of a splurge or a rise kind of in interest in any particular podcast

so because then i can give it attention so the chronic pain relief hypnosis podcast i've had 5295 downloads there's 55 episodes on there 55 recordings and i know i'm probably i'm biased i think some of it's fairly good but hopefully it's all useful but there you go so what other ones is there so the deep sleep whisper hypnosis is now 106 640 downloads and i've been neglecting it a little bit lately i haven't been making recordings as much as i used to which i need to address i mean literally november i did one two three

four five five recordings in a whole month which is poor that's a poor show and this month so far i've made two recordings and the last one was seven days ago but in october i did 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 11 recordings in october september i did 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 i did 12 in september august i did 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 so that's you see there's a big difference

and it shows in the stats because yesterday i had 252 downloads which technically is not too bad considering i haven't made a new one for a week and today so far i've had oh dear eight eight downloads the day before yesterday 147 day before that 227 and the last recording 334 downloads 365 so if i make new recordings i get more i suppose obvious isn't it i get more um people downloading and listening so there's 166 episodes officially 167 but one of them's missing it's number two that's missing or number three it's 106 640 total

downloads with 3215 total plays that's without the other podcasts that they want so you could probably do the same with this one as with the other so this is 106 you could probably add is probably more like 300 000 for the deep sleep whisper sessions over the last year or maybe 250 000 or something and all in all i've had 595 731 total downloads in since november the 21st i think i was or this is november the 11th no it's november 21st and 21 278 total plays and i had 438 likes 38 people have liked

what i do wow wow so hypnosis for sleeping deeply this is 119 705 downloads 467 episodes so this is a mixture of the Let Me Bore You To Sleep and deep sleep whisper hypnosis sleep hypnosis weekly that's it isn't it so Let Me Bore You To Sleep deep sleep whisper sleep hypnosis weekly yeah that's it plus and other older recordings that i did you know sort of in the past that are on there as well let's have a look the deep sleep yeah from the looks of this the deep sleep recordings get higher numbers of

downloads than the sleep hypnosis the Let Me Bore You To Sleep ones so that'd be interesting to have a look go through the whole year and work out how many i've had for each podcast for each individual episode that's a lot of uh for laughing around wow so i need to just i want to just work something out i want to see how many i got for the whole of of last month so now in november for the um hypnosis for sleeping deeply i got 11 870 downloads how many plays did i get nine plays

this month so far it's the 10th now so about nine days 3398 so that's 119 Let Me Bore You To Sleep 80 241 downloads 5540 plays and yesterday you got 289 downloads and today you got 14 so far so it's and there's 272 listenable episodes on there i've now got the full package of speakers so i can have unlimited episodes so i can literally have 10 000 on there and i'm covered and they'll you know which eventually i will have but i am paying for it so it's not like it's a free service which i

used to do i got proper stung by a free service that i had years ago and they decided to basically stop operating and overnight i lost half of my recordings and a lot of them weren't backed up so i just lost a lot of my work and at that time i was getting really i was getting a lot of downloads and not as much as what i'm getting now but it was pretty i think i'm sure i'd reached like 100 000 and by january 2008 i think i'd reached 100 000 downloads on there at that

podcast so yeah it's a little bit frustrating to have lost it all so let's i do like this podcast my best day of that podcast is 326 downloads and seven plays on the 23rd but again i haven't yeah one two three four five six seven wow i've done quite well i didn't realize i've done a recording on the first of december the second third fourth fifth six seven eight nine and now tenth it's the tenth day in a row and how many days were in last month 30 so i didn't do i did one on

the 29th of november but i didn't do one on the 30th oh man wow all these recordings i mean literally let's have a look i can show you how many hours let me go back if i go into the actual app into the thing and i'll put together a preview no that's not the one um okay no it's not what i wanted i wanted yeah preview i want to see how many hours in total but for doing embed and playlist enabled play continuously wow so for this let me play to sleep podcast if you was

going to listen to each one one after another it would take and that's without this new one that i'm doing now it would take 296 hours and 31 minutes to listen just to this podcast 296 hours and 31 minutes and what's that 20 that's a long time isn't it i mean it's 24 hours in a day that's 240 hours would be 10 whole days and then you've got 50 60 70 80 90 yeah now 56 hours on top of that so 12 24 48 so it'd be nearly 15 days in total continuous 15 whole days

of just listening to me oh man that's just wrong and now it's gone up by another hour or so that's a lot of that's a lot of talking isn't it how did i manage to do that very strange anyway let's have a look at the other podcasts while we're here yeah and it's a relaxation hypnosis for stress anxiety and stuff that's 50 751 downloads 100 1436 plays 75 episodes but there isn't really there's 66 but i added some relaxation recordings on there as well so the last recording i did was on the 3rd of December

so yeah seven days ago and but yesterday it kind of fluctuates when i make a new recording i get a big spike of people listening and i've nearly 400 so the 21st of November where is 20 yeah 20 21st of November and the 3rd of December so the last two i did so it's quite a big difference 21st of November a big spike it's 388 downloads and then next day is 168 121 124 165 183 160 so it fluctuates and then the 3rd of December it's 353 and then it's 230 the next day 183 185

it goes down to 125 and then Sunday the 8th 256 and then yesterday 341 downloads so i don't know why it's gone up but you know i haven't done anything for seven days but i'm due to do another one i'd like to do one every day you know i know that the stats would really rise if i did a deep sleep whisper hypnosis let me boy to sleep and a relaxation for stress and anxiety if i did three every day one of one of those each day and obviously the the stats would rise considerably but

it's finding the space and the time not the time so much but i don't know where Andre is half the time and i need to if i'm going to start doing especially the sleep sessions i need to find a place where he's not going to disturb me with these it's it's not so bad you know if you know he's got a lot of fans out there so i think they i think it's i don't know i'm only guessing i'm guessing this but some people might like to hear him in the background making his noises and

it's uh i find it quite comforting actually so when i'm in bed if i hear a noise i know it's him and it's quite nice to i don't know just relaxes me and by the way just out of interest if you're if you're still awake for the relaxation hypnosis for stress and anxiety there's i've got some relaxation recordings on there that are pretty pretty good which will probably send you to sleep so it might be worth checking it out but it's up to you so that's 50 000 and you know i've i'm only i only

really started on that one there's only 66 recordings and i've got i don't do them as regularly as i could but if i started doing them every day i'll reach 100 000 within probably two months maybe three i don't know so it's that will grow another podcast i'd expect to be popular but it isn't is the relaxation hypnosis podcast there's 239 recordings on here and i've only got 12 354 downloads 358 plays and yesterday i got 13 downloads and the the most downloads in the last 30 days was the 11th of november at 60 60

downloads and that's a bit of a shame really because i've got some of my older recordings on there i think they're very groovy very very very groovy so the next one is self-help and self-development hypnosis i'm only going through the ones that have actually got some numbers on them so this is 71 episodes to listen to 17 229 total downloads 818 plays again hardly hardly listened to yesterday i had 37 downloads and the most downloads in the last the last 30 days was 97 downloads on the 19th of november it's very poor you know the

amount that i get and the last recording i did was forgiving others helps you and that was posted on the the 11th of the 10th yeah 11th of october 2019 that's got 417 downloads i mean some of that stuff is sort of my best work kind of kind of and so that's that one the next one i want to mention is sleep hypnosis weekly so again it's supposed to be weekly i've not made a recording since the 5th of november it's awful isn't it i really i just just haven't got around to doing it i

need to because it's people like it people like that podcast and it's kind of got uh it's got its own audience if that makes sense and let's have a look uh last month 28 okay 5th of november with this one it's steady if that makes sense and like the last recording i did it's had 1135 downloads so it's not um i've got a few recordings over a thousand downloads so the number 21 1175 downloads episode 17 1132 downloads episode 15 1069 downloads episode 8 1062 downloads and the first seven which is what i originally did

they're all over a thousand with a couple being um number one is 4090 downloads and episode 7 is 5499 downloads so it kind of the last 30 days the most i've had is the 20th of november 118 downloads but yesterday i got 78 day before 79 but it kind of apart from a couple of little dips it seems to stay around the 80 kind of ish a day even though i haven't recorded a new one for over a month isn't it so if i was a little bit more in fact i'll tell you i can

give you exactly so on a monthly basis since i think it was yeah since may i think that's when i started doing new ones i had 3130 in may june this downloads 2675 downloads july 2516 august 3069 downloads september 3199 downloads october 2824 downloads and november 2343 downloads and so far this month the last nine days 584 downloads so i need to need to make more recordings really in order to do let's do the listener all that that is displayed data listeners too far not all there was listeners 584 oh it's actually 3110 it gives

me the amount of listeners compared to the amount of listens so downloads but then how many people how many different people are listening oh that's interesting i didn't know i had that it must be a new thing in the stats or maybe it's because i'm now paying the higher the highest level of i don't know whatever you want to call it uh the membership to be on Spreaker they're giving me that extra there's extra things that are available wow so let me go back so if i just go back to the standard it's like the

last 30 days oh it doesn't show it plays and downloads but if i do it by month it gives me listeners as well as plays and downloads oh no it doesn't it doesn't do it for the whole thing just does it for individual podcasts what if it does it for this one it does wow it's a november 5405 downloads but 3456 listeners if i just do that the last 30 days oh that's interesting so i've got 289 downloads on the let me bore you to sleep yesterday the 9th of december 289 downloads but according to

this i also plus six plays according to this there is 161 listeners so that that means that some people listen to it more than once i honestly don't know according to this and again i've got no idea if it's true or not it says 100% this is the demographics 100% of the people listening is 45 to 54 year olds but i don't know if this is just for the Spreaker or if this this is like all the way across Spotify and everything i don't think it is i think it's just for the Spreaker people listen

on Spreaker so according to this people listen to this podcast 40.

22% is from the United States 22. 05% is from the United Kingdom Canada is 8. 4% Australia is 8. 24% New Zealand is 4. 30% Norway is 2. 97% United Arab Emirates is 2. 57% Netherlands is 1. 59% Sweden is 1. 53% Germany is 1. 41% and other is 6. 71% I've never heard of that country and then if it goes by city Canada i'll probably pronounce that wrong but and also Dubai United Arab Emirates Dubai now if Anthony Joshua is listening to this who's in Dubai at the moment or he has been you just won back your world titles and if listen to me has helped you can i please borrow 10 pound thank you Wellington New Zealand is 1.

58% and this is Norway it's Norway 1. 54% guaranteed i pronounced that wrong San Francisco 1. 21% Islington in England 1. 06% Phnom Penh Cambodia hello Cambodia i did not i think i denied listens in this listening is in Cambodia so welcome 1. 1% Saanichton Canada 0. 98% Auckland New Zealand 0. 91% Breenville NC United States NC is that North Carolina 0. 86% others 85% there's a huge amount of others there 85. 09% in other words they can't be bothered to list everyone's sources according to this the top sources are apple podcasts this is just for the last 30 days 32.

58% Spotify 27. 72% Castbox 10. 08% Spreaker 5. 85% which is kind of weird considering it's on Spreaker but Stitcher 5. 06% Generic Android App 2. 91% Google Podcasts 2. 61% Podcast Addict 2. 49% Overcast 1. 78% PodTale. com 1. 46% Podbean 1. 23% iTunes 1. 08% TuneIn Radio 0. 78% Player FM 0. 58% Pocketcasts 0. 56% Sonos 0. 48% Dogcatcher 0. 46% Stock Android Browser 0. 43% Chrome 0. 32% com. evolve. podcast 0. 28% and other 1. 26% so that's the if i go back i see what it's like for the whole of the year though because that's just the last 30 days so since it only goes only goes back as far as june so it only goes back as for the last six months so apple podcasts again is at the top 34.

51% 12,529 Spotify 10,109 so that doesn't really make sense because 10th of June 2,3,4 i don't know i suppose it does make sense eventually if i added it all up but but spotify 27. 84% castbox nine point or 8. 93% and it's in that same order i think is before Spreaker my google podcast Spreaker Stitcher wow wow wow wow let's see what devices i see it's changing i mean it's it's moving more and more phone 86. 79% of people that listen to me listen on the phone a tablet is 5. 92% desktop is 3. 92% a smartwatch is 1.

17% and that's growing tv 0. 80% that's growing as well because you didn't used to get anything there before a smart speaker which would probably be like alexa 0. 21% and others 1. 20% so i wonder if it's going to grow with the tablet or it's just the phone is just going to completely take over and it has taken over 86. 79% and the operating systems ios so apple apple phones are um 56. 72% android phones 34. 88% windows uh 203% mac os 1. 80% so i guess that's for the laptops isn't it watch os which is the apple phone apple watch 1.

17% linux 0. 77% and then you got amazon alexa uh 0. 21% fire os 0. 16% chrome os 0. 05% proprietary 0 roku os 0 and other 2.

21% so that's for yeah that's for this that's for this uh podcast wow it's also got um that's why i was getting confused because i was i was thinking the numbers aren't high enough but it was for just for this podcast not for all of the podcasts because that would be different there's an evolution which you can click on and it shows how quickly some of the the top the top ones and how they've grown so which are like the most popular recordings according to this episode 272 i don't know i just want to go

back see the statistics go all the way back to just don't go back to november last year if i can and then try and do sources i only allow it from june oh so this is different now because i was thinking the numbers are right but for the last six months apple podcasts i've had 166 896 downloads from apple podcast spotify 48 370 castbox 25 365 stitcher 23 824 itunes 8 918 overcast 8095 5 generic android app 7 739 so just going down there's there's quite a few what i'm looking at see what i don't

understand right i heart radio when i first joined spreaker a few years back a couple of years ago and i've been on there a few times deleted it come back deleted it and this year's i've kept it for the whole of the year and i'm going to continue but the what was weird is i heart radio was getting loads of downloads and now according to this i heart radio i've had 520 downloads in the last six months i was getting that a day in the past oh wow oh i've got another message i wonder who

the message is from oh that's weird i got a message here but nothing's coming up so there are a few other people i wanted to say hello to i wonder where he's just gone and he's got a life of luxury he has so i want to say hello to a few more people natalie merkley hello natalie want to say hello to you thank you and what natalie does is something that's really cool is she shares my posts on facebook so maybe you'd like to do that as well and just to reach you know help to

reach a larger audience help to let other people know about the ballingness that i provide and so that's really cool so thank you natalie i do appreciate that and who else have we got bethany hello bethany how you doing and say hello to i don't know if lety is listening hello lety nattie hi nattie joe johnston hi joe johnston hello so bethany maria hello let's go back to the main facebook so i've got three facebook pages that you might not be aware of the first is kind of like my personal page but it's not really

because i don't really have much in the way of life real life kind of friends or family on there generally it's more i've only ever been on facebook to try and promote my stuff and i've made friends along the way as well so things like someone like boston sebastian lety brooke and some that i don't can't really mention their names but there's been lots of people that have helped me out as well and so hi to nicholas is also hi k rudge boroughs hello and who else have we got let's have a look at the

people that are being molly rose hi molly peter guffy sherry hi sherry boston chicky rachel elizabeth nick meekins uh azriel hello someone like kiros no as well and so there's a few people that are like okay i'll probably mention that that regularly like my stuff and listen on facebook and maybe relate it put a comment and if anyone would like to share my my recordings i've got judith here and onto your own just share it on your own facebook page it just gives other people a chance to john kelly hi john just to you know

just an easier place to find stuff if you like to find stuff via facebook and then my other facebook page is one that i've had for a long time is facebook. com forward slash jason newland hypnotist and this is i've got 29 000 likes uh on there and i post everything i do on this on this page as well so and so that's that's that one on twitter um yeah i'd like to say hello to a couple of people on twitter as well i don't don't get a huge huge um i don't do that much on twitter but i'd like to say hello to doreen donald and sally reader and so thank you because you know for liking my stuff aria has started following me hi tori

do we i'll just search for my name i'm jason newland so i've got 1011 videos and so there's a picture of me lying on my side and it just says there's 344 subscribers that's all i got and says my name is jason newland i've been making hypnosis videos and mp3 since 2006 so that's so jason newland free hypnosis service that is my um that's my youtube channel that i don't get a huge amount of views for for any of the anything really especially the the audios but i put them on never people who do want

to watch them or listen to them because i know video you know youtube's for videos isn't it really but um yeah i mean my most popular videos on here is try and stay awake hypnosis challenge and that's 3.

1k so it's 3.

1 000 views and funny enough i didn't see this coming the second most popular is the asmr whisper avengers infinity war jigsaw puzzle i'm just doing a jigsaw puzzle for 54 minutes and there's 906 views that's 11 months ago the third most popular is natural deep sleep is your birthright 741 views so that's when i opened the youtube channel a year ago and the fourth most popular is kick insomnia's ass and sleep like a baby 529 views so it's it's mainly sleep stuff to be fair that gets the most views but um i used to

be very very active on youtube you could say you know i've got 1000 odd videos quite active but um my most popular youtube channel i had 500 000 plays views on my channel and i had about 3 000 subscribers and then i deleted it and you know kind of lost that momentum as it were but i might start making videos again i've got the equipment i need i've got you know video camera i've got it's just a case of i don't know just i feel more comfortable just talking into a microphone this is feels a

bit more comfortable for me you know but so anyway if you want to find me on youtube just put my name in and it's j or you can just type in jason newland free hypnosis service and that'll find me or just put in jason newland and it'll find me as well there's loads of videos i said there's um how many did i say there was 1011 videos so when i put my name in not only was did i come at the top um my picture and the you know the big subscribe button and stuff but
