60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday: Who Are Those Listener Locations and Are They Real?

<p>Hello to you listening all around the world!</p><p>Coming to you from <a href="https://whidbeycamanoislands.com/" target="_blank">Whidbey Island, Washington</a> this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga!</p><p>Several years ago I started the practice of opening each daily 60 Seconds episode with a shout out: “<i>Hello to you listening in ...</i>.” I’ve been asked whether there really are listeners in these locations and why do I say “<i>Hello</i>”?</p><p>Yes, indeed! Each and every location is really real representing folks listening from where their feet touch the ground or road they are walking. How do I know? The Simplecast platform provides its users with a global map that highlights in yellow the cities and towns where folks are listening to my podcast. I’ve collected 81 pages of global locations.</p><p>Why do I continue this practice? To recognize, acknowledge and thank you for listening in on our global community, even if we never meet. I research each location to learn something more about your home. Then I share a URL in the Episode Notes so other curious listeners can visit online; together we explore the world.    </p><p><strong>CTA</strong>: If you have not yet heard your town or city mentioned on this podcast, <a href="info@quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank">email me</a> so I can be sure to give you a shout-out!  Meanwhile, keep listening, share this podcast with your friends and rellies, and email me some good words to hear from you.
