## Summary

Jen Castillo and Alvaro Prieto of the Unnamed Reverse Engineering Podcast summarize their 2020 annual survey results, revealing a bimodal audience of software, firmware, and security engineers who value the show's knowledgeable guests and detailed show notes. They discuss the decision to launch a Patreon to fund better recording tools like Zencastr and potentially hire an editor, while addressing listener feedback on episode frequency, intro music volume, and the desire for more technical depth. The hosts also reflect on their production workflow, contrasting scripted remote interviews with unscripted live conference recordings, and announce plans for future Hackaday-related content.
