Secrets & Spies Listener Survey 2024

[00:00:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Hello everybody, it's Chris here. I hope you're all well and enjoying your summer. Both Matt and I just wanted to say a huge

[00:00:09] [SPEAKER_00]: thank you for your support over season 8. It's been quite a season. I think it's been our strongest so far.

[00:00:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I hope you agree. And we will be starting season 9 on the 14th of September with a brand new

[00:00:23] [SPEAKER_00]: espresso martini and extra shot for Patreon subscribers.

[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_00]: But before we begin the new season, we wanted to hear from you about your thoughts on how the podcast has been and

[00:00:35] [SPEAKER_00]: if there's anything you would like us to do to enhance your experience.

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_00]: So we have created a listener survey

[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_00]: and if you go to your show notes and you'll see a link right there

[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_00]: and it will take you straight through to our survey which is on SurveyMonkey.com

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_00]: And that survey is anonymous so you can say whatever you like. Please be as honest as you can be.

[00:00:56] [SPEAKER_00]: We would like to get a picture of what you do like about the show, how often you listen to it, etc.

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Also I'd like to know a little bit about you. If you could give us some information.

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to be specific, but if you could just give us some general ideas and a little bit about yourself.

[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_00]: That's also quite helpful because it's quite nice to know kind of what backgrounds people have come from, etc.

[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Just to get us a clearer idea of who is out there listening to us.

[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_00]: And also there's a section there where you can add comments about if there's anything you would like us to do

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_00]: to enhance the experience on the show.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_00]: So please do take part in that survey. It gives us a really great idea of what is working,

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_00]: what may need some tweaking, etc. It'd be really helpful.

[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_00]: So thank you again very much for listening to us for the last year.

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_00]: It's been a really interesting season I think and I hope you enjoy our next season.

[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to be doing season 9 which starts on the 14th of September.

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_00]: And over this season we're going to be making some tweaks here or there.

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Partly based on obviously your feedback from the survey.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And also some technical things too. We're going to be introducing a video component over the next year

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_00]: to some of our episodes and hopefully more episodes over time to enhance the experience on YouTube

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_00]: because we are starting to grow an audience on YouTube and I'm very guilty of neglecting YouTube.

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So I want to do something about that.

[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_00]: So our YouTube channel will be getting some enhancements over the next year.

[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And there may even be some special videos once we get into the swing of things with YouTube.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_00]: So thank you again very much for all your support over the last year.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And we look forward to sharing more podcasts with you in September.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Take care. Speak to you soon. Bye for now.
