Ah, the joys of having one’s own hosted site and multiple database products. On that last point. SQL-Server’s operating overhead has really come down in the current release. I’m running an instance of MySQL and SQL-Server and there’s little to choose between the two at the moment.<\/p>\n
Anyway.<\/p>\n
This morning I ran a BI report for the first full month of audited file and server activity for the podcast.<\/p>\n
Last month the podcast averaged 32,213 weekly downloads – or 32,213 downloads per episode if you prefer.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, because of the way iTunes manages their RSS syndication and their pecular UID methodology, I can’t determine how many iTunes ‘listens’ occur, so the statistic above excludes iTunes activity.<\/p>\n
The top countries by IP locator (so a slight pinch of salt please when reading these numbers) shows the national breakdown of non-iTunes<\/em> listens as:<\/p>\n That’s over 48% of listeners in the US alone and that, my friends, is very interesting. The high proportion of Spanish\/Latin American countries is also very gratifying.<\/p>\n So a quick message to everyone who picks up a weekly episode of This Reality Podcast.<\/p>\n I think you’re bonkers, but truly wonderful.<\/p>\n Thank you for your support.<\/p>\n I’ll think of you whenever I wear it.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n B<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ah, the joys of having one’s own hosted site and multiple database products.
