June 26 - from 1993 to 2023 - Milestones
June 26th, 2023 by Mark Henkel

Today is June 26, 2023.

For me, this is a very special day. Indeed, it was 30 years ago today when the whole issue of advocating polygamy began for me – June 26, 1993.

Since then, the founding of the modern Christian Polygamy movement began, making it possible for the overall larger movement of UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy, and catapulting me onto the national stage as the National Polygamy Advocate ™.

Over these last 30 years, numerous amazing milestones have occurred – each one of them happening on June 26th too. For me, I find that the the totality of these milestones become confirmations, individually and collectively. While we still have more to go, our progress is still profound!

The details – including listing the numerous milestones – are offered in Episode #275 of the National Polygamy Advocate ™ PODCAST. Be sure to listen to, subscribe to, and to please SHARE with others.

National Polygamy Advocate ™ PODCAST crosses 5000 play-count on 2019-02-03
February 3rd, 2019 by Mark Henkel

Earlier today, February 3, 2019, the National Polygamy Advocate ™ PODCAST crossed over the 5,000 play-count mark. This milestone was achieved in less than a year after only 46 weekly episodes that began on March 21, 2018.

What makes this news even more additionally exciting is how the latest metrics compare with the metrics over the previous 6 months. Indeed, at the end of the previous calendar month (December, 2018), it was already exciting to see that the podcast had reached a new monthly record total of 286 total plays for that month. Here is the list of the total month play-count for the last several months of 2018.

  • 228 – August 2018
  • 182 – September 2018
  • 189 – October 2018
  • 278 – November 2018
  • 286 – December 2018

By mid-January 2019, that month total record was being doubled, tripled, and more! By the end of January, a new record total month play-count had been reached.

  • 2,603 – January 2019

Not only was that whopping record in the range of being 10x all other previous individual month totals, but that one-month total of January 2019 even exceeded the entire total of plays from the beginning of the podcast itself.

And the climb didn’t stop there. Observe the month-to-date (as of this Sunday morning on Febrary 3, 2019) total so far this month.

  • 668 – February 1-2 + some of February 3, 2019, morning

One last note, achieving this new 5,000+ milestone has also increased the avergage “Plays per episode.” Back in December, 2018, that average was climbing up past 30. But now that average has shot up past 100!

So, yes, today it is truly exciting to witness today’s milestone being reached, with the National Polygamy Advocate ™ PODCAST passing the 5,000 play-count mark.
