Sandy and Nora in 2019: by the numbers
Nora Loreto (not endorsed by Sandy Hudson)
We’ve had a blast doing Sandy and Nora over the past year. While we’re taking a few weeks off, I thought that listeners might be interested in seeing some of the figures behind the show. Here’s a little round-up for the end of the year.
We will be back in January and we know that 2020 will be awesome. If you listen, share this with your friends, turn your family onto radical politics by sending them episodes, donate or talk positively about us on social media: thank you, thank you, thank you.
If we have the chance to meet in the new year, see you soon.
