First, thank you for the words of en...</title><content type='html'>Cheetosdust,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, thank you for the words of encouragement. it&amp;#39;s been quite a ride and I am having the time of my life! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To your question about sepcific numbers, it is something I don&amp;#39;t look into. My podcasting host service gives me a total number, but only gives me details on the last 20 or so episode hits, downloads and plays and those change with each day. If I were to surmise, I would say a few people from each country, not anything on a OMG grand scale. My service can give me more stats if I &amp;quot;upgraded&amp;quot; to a business account. Ahhh...I won&amp;#39;t be doing that. I&amp;#39;m just a simple podcaster..LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again, the &amp;quot;numbers&amp;quot; factor is not important to me. The fact that people in the States and other countries are listening is the exciting part for me! It&amp;#39;s an honor, even if it were just one person. And THANK YOU for listening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve only had two polls but you bring up an interesting point. I don&amp;#39;t know if you can archive polls on Blogger. I&amp;#39;ll look into that definitely for the future. Thanks for the idea!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As to the threat I received, while I do have my detractors, I&amp;#39;ll admit this was unexpected and unnerving. Science fiction is meant to be enjoyed, but there are those who need, albeit anonymously, to turn it into some holy crusade and make threats over the internet. . All I can do is shrug and move on...and TRY not to let it bother me. It&amp;#39;s tough sometimes, because I am human too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheetosdust, thank you for your listenership and chime in again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JT</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5502071231869201952/5976662952561224187/comments/default/4656892803092718283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5502071231869201952/5976662952561224187/comments/default/4656892803092718283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.protoculturetimes.com/2009/11/random-thoughts-110409.html?showComment=1257443205765#c4656892803092718283' title=''/><author><name>JT</name><uri>http://www.protculturetimes.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.protoculturetimes.com/2009/11/random-thoughts-110409.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502071231869201952.post-5976662952561224187' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5502071231869201952/posts/default/5976662952561224187' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502071231869201952.post-63343704148880967</id><published>2009-11-05T09:50:58.975-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-05T09:50:58.975-06:00</updated><title type='text'>JT,

I, on the otherhand, think you&amp;#39;re doing a fantastic job on the podcast. Keep on going and go for it! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw, out of curiosity, in your podcasts (in particular the shoutouts section) you mentioned that your podcast gets downloaded by people from various countries. How many from each respective country downloads your podcast? Can you please share with us some statistics like for example how many from Australia, Fillipines, UK, Canada, Mexico downloaded your podcast of Episode 1, etc?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, are we able to access previous polls that were conducted in the past?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, JT you&amp;#39;re doing a great job on the podcast and I look forward to your next episode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheetosdust</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5502071231869201952/5976662952561224187/comments/default/63343704148880967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5502071231869201952/5976662952561224187/comments/default/63343704148880967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.protoculturetimes.com/2009/11/random-thoughts-110409.html?showComment=1257436258975#c63343704148880967' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.protoculturetimes.com/2009/11/random-thoughts-110409.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502071231869201952.post-5976662952561224187' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5502071231869201952/posts/default/5976662952561224187' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
