Is it good that followers grew more than listeners? Is it good that 58% of this year's listeners were new to us? What is Creator Personality? (The Wrapped site seems to suggest that it's based off of the length of episodes, where your listeners are located, and how often you update. What about those factors makes us a Storyteller?) Probably no one knows any of the answers, even Spotify, because they let gen AI do Wrapped this year!

Anyway, it's an unequivocal good that we got a five-star average rating, so let's celebrate that – and if you haven't already, check out Spotify listeners' favourite episode of the year!

Labyrinth Untold, Act 1 — Foggy Outline

The Stone Walls. The Goblin Queen is displeased to find four of her denizens outside the Labyrinth.
