The duo launched their podcast, I Like You Very Much, in June and it has quickly become a favourite among dedicated fans of the popular Netflix series.
Each week, the show features Alexandra and Zibby engaging in enlightening discussions with one of their fellow cast members from the small-town drama.
This Friday’s episode will include an open conversation with season five’s new lead actor Kandyse McClure, who plays firefighter Kaia Bryant.
They have also interviewed cherished stars such as Ben Hollingsworth, Annette O’Toole and Tim Matheson, with many more guests lined up for future episodes, reports the Express.
On Monday, the podcast’s official Instagram page posted a Story expressing their appreciation to fans for helping them reach this impressive milestone.
Both Alexandra and Zibby then shared this heartfelt message on their own Stories.
The page regularly posts excerpts from their conversations, but fans can subscribe to access the full-length versions for $25 (£19.60) or $35 (£27.50) for video episodes. A portion of the profits is donated to Save the Children.
Numerous Virgin River fans have already subscribed and have been lavishing praise on the interviews in recent posts by the co-stars.
“I look forward to every Friday thanks to this podcast!” commented one listener.
One user expressed their delight, saying: “Omg this is a breath of fresh air, throughly enjoyed them all, I’m just captivated, makes my usually dull Fridays into the best day of the week.” (sic)

As for the eagerly awaited Virgin River series, there’s good news for fans. After the cliffhanger fifth season finale in August, Netflix boss Ted Sarandos has revealed a surprising update regarding the next instalment.
Originally scheduled for an early 2025 release, Sarandos confirmed at the Netflix Q2 earnings interview that the sixth season would be coming much sooner than expected, with new episodes arriving before the end of this year.
