I'm just behind in the podcasts due to not having a portable device capable of playing mp3s until November, and not enough time in front of my computer to listen to an entire episode from the PC. I still have yet to listen to episodes 44-54. :)
This is the first time I have listened to a couple of podcasts. I must say they are very informative. Now, maybe this isn't the place to ask, but my curiosity wants to know how many people on average download and listen to the podcast's on average?

Ask not what you can do for a coaster, but what a coaster can do for you.
I can't speak for Jeff, but I believe the numbers are usually in the 600 - 1000 range initially (the first week) and they slowly climb over time as people discover them.
The more popular ones (with industry guests) seem to do 2000-2500 over the long haul.
^^ Right on! Ya, when I went into my itunes program, podcast, search, then coasters I got coasterbuzz right away with some other ones. ATX coasters and coaster radio.;) Pretty cool to see you guys up there though.

Being a postal worker, catching up on all the old podcasts each morning is the only thing keeping me from going "postal" on my coworkers...what happens when I catch up?
iirc they did a year in review last year, and specifically didn't this year.
As for what to do when you catch up? Listen to 'em again. Just like re-runs on TV you're bound to notice something that you didn't notice the first time around.
Oh, and on the question of how many downloads.. go to podcast.coasterbuzz.com and browse that way - it shows how many downloads for each podcast. What I don't know is if it includes the itunes downloads, or just the downloads through that website.... Jeff?
