In April and May of 2020, our listenership took a dive. A big dive. We went from 3,276 downloads in January of 2020 to 1,477 in April and 1,498 in May. We were more than a bit concerned as that was a drop of 1,799. We struggled through the summer, limping along with alarming numbers,…
1,000 in 1 week
I know, I know. When you hit 50,000 that seems like the BIG number for a while. No need to go bragging on ourselves until we hit like 100,000, right? Well, we hit 51,004 today. That’s 1,000 downloads in one week. That’s worth at least a teeny bit of bragging.

The picture kind of says it all.
Brains and Brawn
Zach Hoogkamp, the actor who makes us all hate Milton Roupp, is more than a consummate voice actor. He is also a professional wrestler who uses the name Zach Burton when he is in the ring. Zach is currently wrestling with Let’s Wrestle in Orono, Maine. If you can’t get enough wrestling, you can watch…
Above the fold
You may have seen the post from yesterday. We were wicked excited about having the story, “West Bath podcast ‘Restless Shores’ airs 100th episode, hits 46,000 listeners,” written by Kathleen O’Brien in the Times Record. Ms. O’Brien captured the cast and crew’s cohesion that fans can’t see; the energy that does flow around this podcast,…
One Voice
Restless Shores is but one voice in a very populated world. We understand that our ability to celebrate is muted by the current circumstances. We understand that boasting on many of the social media (and COVID safe) sights is considered unattractive. We understand that if we want to share our delight with as many people as…
Our biggest competitor? Washington DC!
No one can deny that Washington DC is the world leader in soap operas or at least consistently in the top five on any given day. How can a podcast soap opera from Maine compete with that? Restless Shores has most of the same stuff you find in everyday politics, just more fun, and each…
Halleluiah
For all our fans out there, you know that our writers are a couple of talented guys. Not only do they write deliciously twisted plots, but they act in Restless Shores episodes. You may have also figured out that Greg Tulonen, our lead writer, has a wicked sense of humor as he provides us with…
Ten Weeks
We went over 45,000 worldwide downloads on January 10th and we will drop our 100th episode on January 22nd. We will enter our second year in six days. That is a lot to be thankful for and to celebrate. Who knew that a troupe of folks from Maine could pull it off? Yet here we…
Best Christmas Present Ever!
We are beside ourselves. Someone else thinks we’re cool. It wasn’t even someone we had contacted in our efforts to promote Restless Shores. That just makes it even better. We were placed on this list on Christmas Eve. Even betterer. Player FM has included us in their Best Soap Opera Podcasts of 2020 list. You,…
