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

<p>Hello to you listening all around the world!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington 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 episode with a shout out: “Hello to you listening in ....” I’ve been asked whether there really are listeners in these locations and why do I say “Hello”?</p><p>Yes! Each and every location is really real and represents 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 some 68 pages of global locations.</p><p>I say Hello to you listening! 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>Question</strong>: Coming soon to a location near you!
