I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die. -

We aren't expecting thousands of regular listeners -- though we'd surely welcome it
-- but a bit higher in the hundreds would be even nicer.

As I point out every single time we discuss numbers, yes, iTunes downloads the files to their own servers. Your research is wrong, I've tested this extensively.Originally posted by DanQ
Having never used or looked that closely into iTunes, I'm not sure, but do feeds on it download the content to a/the service's server then or just reference to the source(s) provided by feed managers?
It would be nice of people to download directly from our server but people should do whatever's convenient for them. I listen to well over a dozen different podcasts, it would be a huge pain to download each of those directly from a webpage. I don't do that myself and I wouldn't ask anyone to do so. It's not like we get money for the number of downloads, so it's really only an ego thing for us to have high numbers.As an alternate in such situations though, some of the services linked to from the show's site that carry our feed actually make copies of our works available from their own server. We ask that people (to continue) to obtain the show from us directly to help us better gauge listenership numbers, but an experience such as the one that our server just went through makes this alternative being available most favourable.
I'd much rater like people to comment or vote on the show here or call or write in than to download the shows from a specific location. User participation is really what sets podcasts apart from traditional media.
Note that this number does not include the downloads from services like iTunes (the most popular way to listen to podcasts) that store the files locally and only reflects the first ~month after their release. But even the first couple of shows released back in October and November are still getting small numbers of downloads every single month. So the total number of listeners is probably quite a bit higher than that, although it's anyone's guess really how high exactly (I'd say we have about 300 regular listeners per show on average but again, that's as good a guess as any).It varies from episode-to-episode, but as near and best as we can tell, on average 150-200 listeners (from its official site).Last edited by Locutus; July 11, 2007, 23:30.Comment

Seriously though, thanks iTunes!
Good to know ( and maybe I'll remember this time.
)
We all know that, but shhhhhhhhhhh!It's not like we get money for the number of downloads, so it's really only an ego thing for us to have high numbers.

Yes, but you have to remember that I'm a very conservative person...... the total number of listeners is probably quite a bit higher than that, although it's anyone's guess really how high exactly (I'd say we have about 300 regular listeners per show on average but again, that's as good a guess as any).

Off-site, PolyCast is advertised primarily a) through emails to assorted gaming news sites about the release of new episodes (or upcoming episodes where deemed appropriate) and b) on podcast directory, stream and subscription services (see show website for those).
Also, as of Episode 18, a similar comment thread is maintained on CFC.PolyCast Co-Host, Owner and Producer: entertaining | informing civ
