Happy Birthday
Today marks the first anniversary of ‘The Other Hand’. During the past year our podcast has been downloaded over 284,000 times. Our articles posted on Substack site have been read many thousands of times.
What began as a bit of fun during lockdown has grown beyond our wildest dreams. A big thank you to all our listeners and readers. And a big shout out to the many of you who engage with us via email, Twitter, LinkedIn and the comments section of our site - the vast bulk of the exchanges have been polite and constructive. Not everyone agrees with us all the time but we always learn when listening and engaging respectfully.
Suggestions for topics are always most welcome. Anyone with expertise and a deeply held point of view is welcome as a guest on the show.
Telling your friends about the podcast is always helpful. Please use the share button if you can. Our distribution list for our emailed articles is now huge but would benefit from even more growth - please sign up if you can. Reviews on Apple and Spotify are also very important to us. Join the commenting community, it’s fun and rewarding.
The podcast is independent and advertising-free. We’ve kept it that way so far, notwithstanding one or two commercial opportunities that have come our way. Our readers and listeners thoughts on the strategic direction of The Other Hand will be most welcome.
Many thanks to you all.
I love how your podcast opinions resonant with my values - I usually start a nice long walk and turn on your podcast. I’m zipping along at a fair pace to your dulcet tones!!
I love the bouts of teasing between each other - add a nice bit of levity at times when most needed👍
Keep it going lads - it’s a wonderful way of sharing your views.
It’s now the podcast I look forward to most! I’d love to hear an in depth look into the Irish personal tax system. The progressive (or not?) nature of it and what effect future government might have on economic growth if there are changes made to it (changes based on the stated policies of parties that may or may not be in government here in the future. I think you might guess which party I have in mind) Thanks and keep up the great work.
