Hello Counties! It's been a minute but we're back with a feed drop! We were recently interviewed by the co-founders of SquadCast.fm, Zach Moreno and Rock Felder, on their podcast, Between Two Mics: The Remote Recording Podcast. They asked us to join them because when we wrapped season 2 of our podcast, Arielle posted this epic tweet thread about podcast marketing. In it, Arielle writes about how in just 14 months, with no network backing, no ad budget, and a niche topic, we were able to reach 100,000 downloads for the podcast. In this interview, we explain how we did it. We also discuss how Counter Programming came to be, we talk about our friendship, and lots more. We hope you enjoy it. We've missed ya, Counties!

Today we're diving into the question that was on everyone's mind after watching Bridgerton ...What the heck is a Viscount? The good news for us here at Counter Programming is that Bridgerton was recently back in the news. Unfortunately for everyone else, the news was that Regé-Jean Page will not be in the upcoming season (even though Shonda Rhimes said this was planned from the start). In order to fully understand what a viscount is, we explore the British Peerage system which is pretty confusing.

Tally Counters 24:26

24:26

This week, more counters! Tally counters. Welcome to Counter Programming with Shira & Arielle. Each week, we bring you information on anything with the word "count" or "counter" in its title. We started as a pandemic distraction cast. And we will continue until we're both fully vaccinated and incubated. Definition: A tally counter is usually cased in metal and is cylindrical in shape. Part of the circle is flattened out and contains a window of plastic or glass. Inside the counter are a number of rings with the numbers from 0 to 9 in descending order going clockwise. Most counters have four such rings, allowing the user to count up to 9999. A metal ring may be attached to aid in holding the counter, and usually half the ring is bent to allow it to fold flush with the counter when not in use. - Wikipedia Credits: Daniel Tureck - sound Caio Slikta - logo Jason Shaw - Tennessee Hayride (theme music) Email us: counterprogrammingshiraarielle@gmail.com Find us on IG: @ counterprogrammingpod…

Countertops: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle(d) Glass Countertops 29:44

It's the countertop series! We're learning about recycled glass today. Definition: Recycled glass countertops are made from glass (sometimes from curbside recycling programs) mixed with resin or concrete. They can be made to look like natural stone (the homogenous look) OR they can have a glassy, tiled look (terrazzo style). Fun facts: - The recycled glass countertop was invented in 1996 by Don McPherson, who was at the time a student at UC Berkeley. - In 2006, investors acquired McPherson's company (Counter Productions) and renamed it Vetrazzo. - Vetrazzo is still the leading manufacturer of recycled glass countertops.

Countertops: Lamenting Laminate 30:01

It's the countertop series! Last week was all about quartz. Today, LAMINATE! Definition: Laminate is a combination of plastic and paper—interestingly, though, generally not recycled—and sometimes board. These materials are formed into a thin layer and colored or manufactured with naturalistic or textured designs. This layer is then laminated to particleboard or chip board. ( Bobvila ). Fun facts: - Laminate countertops are only a bit over 100 years old. - Laminate as a product was invented by engineers from the Westinghouse company. - The bottom layers of a laminate counter are made of brown craft paper -- literally the paper grocery bags!

Welcome to season 2, Counties! We're kicking off this season with a series on countertops. We'll hit quartz today, then we're onto laminate, recycled glass, and more. Today, QUARTZ! Definition: Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth 's continental crust , behind feldspar . Quartz is also called engineered stone (according to countertop guides). (WIKIPEDIA). Fun facts: - Quartz countertops are only 95% quartz. The other 5% is a polymer resin. - On the Mohs scale of hardness, quartz is a 7 out of 10 - Quartz countertops don't need to be resealed - The Italian Company Breton SPA figured out how to press polymer resins into natural quartz to make it a viable kitchen countertop in the 1960s. To this day, Breton is a leading supplier of these types of materials.

Hey, Counties! This week, we discuss year counters, AKA calendars! Each episode of Counter Programming will focus on a "counter" of some sort. Check back in our episode archives for hours and hours of counter programming content. Thank you to Leah for lending your voice for the intro! You can do the same. Record a voice note saying, "Hi, i'm (your name), and you're listening to Counter Programming with Shira & Arielle." Then send it to us: counterprogrammingshiraarielle@gmail.com. Insta: @ counterprogrammingpod . A calendar - is a system for fixing the beginning, length, and divisions of the civil year and arranging days and longer divisions of time (such as weeks and months) in a definite order. (Thanks, Merriam Webster). According to Encyclopedia Britannica , by the 40s BCE the Roman civic calendar was three months ahead of the solar calendar . Caesar, advised by the astronomer Sosigenes , introduced the Egyptian solar calendar, which claimed that the length of the solar year was 365 1/4 days. Like our calendar, the year was divided into 12 months , which had either 30 or 31 days except February , which contained 28 days in common years and 29 in every fourth year/leap year. Fun fact: Leap years repeated February 23; there was no February 29 in the Julian calendar. Here are the most common birthdays in the world. Leave us a review on Apple or a comment on Castbox .
