The Episodes That Defined 2025 (And One You Probably Missed) | Andrew, Shannon, & Thomas
Description
Let’s hit pause and look back on 2025. What actually worked this year? What nearly broke the process. And what it takes to build a podcast that lasts.
This is a countdown from the 5th most downloaded episode to the one that sat at #1 all year.
Some were expected. A few surprised us. There’s one episode that was harder to make than any other. And one conversation that quietly changed how I think about performance.
If you’ve already listened to the most downloaded episode of the year — you’ll know why it landed.
If you haven’t… you probably didn’t realise what you missed.
And before we close it out, we share a glimpse of what’s coming in 2026 — and why the next chapter of the podcast will be different.
1:15 — The lessons from 2025 that will shape the podcast long-term
4:30 — The episode that nearly broke the process (and why it mattered)
