What listeners of the Seattle-based podcast Too Beautiful to Live (TBTL) are called and what they call themselves. Stemming from the early days of TBTL as a radio show on Seattle's KIRO when the host, Luke Burbank, would refer to the "
literally tens of listeners," instead of hundreds or thousands. This title has since been adopted by the listeners and is now often prefaced with a town, region, or
neighborhood or
integrated into the name of a town, state, etc.
1. I listen to TBTL and I am
therefore one of the Tens.
2. I am (
your name here) of the (Your Town Here) Tens.
3. BosTens (Boston Tens), Tenverites (Denver Tens),
Ballard Tens, etc...
