There's an element in me that does it for me, but it's awesome to know folks out there WANT to listen. I love that.

If that is a primary element of the motivation to podcast, say by increasing the awareness of unsigned bands, then acheiving it has to be a measure of success.

For example, a music podcast with an audience of 10 who plays very niche music but sells 10 cds for bands per podcast could be considered successful. He/She's making a difference both to the audience and to the bands, which was probably their goal in the first place. I have to say I agree with your sentiments 100% I was greatly heartened by Gill Mill's comments at PodcastCon about the typical audience figures for a small-ish FM station here in Scotland. Turned out the tartanpodcast has a considerably bigger audience. AND it's a global audience. AND it's an audience that buys music. Success or what?!

Any reports? I ran into Pavlina's comments on it as well and I'm looking for a good non-paid endorsement and comments on how well it works. Cheers, -T So… how’d it go? Any reports?
