Comments on: My Podcast Receives No Listener Feedback – Why? http://derrickschommer.com/2009/01/13/my-podcast-receives-no-listener-feedback-why/ Building The Ultimate Podcast and Video Show Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:06:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Derrick Schommer http://derrickschommer.com/2009/01/13/my-podcast-receives-no-listener-feedback-why/comment-page-1/#comment-106 Derrick Schommer Thu, 15 Jan 2009 04:45:55 +0000 http://derrickschommer.com/?p=119#comment-106 Yeah, the other huge factor is that we WANT to comment, but we're commuting, lying in bed listening before bed (we have listeners that do that) and by the time you get to your PC/Mac it's out of sight out of mind. That's a huge problem, but one you really can't get around if you happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time to comment. But, knowing I've got a few consistent e-mailers and seeing the download counts make me know people are paying attention. Although, honestly, my heart warms when I get new listeners writing in once and awhile as you just feel good about all the work you put in. And, that's a huge part, we spend a lot of time to put out episodes, an hour show requires more than that to edit (last episode of the gaming podcast took 2x to edit thanks to our music cuts) and then there is posting, advertising, production, blogging, etc. So, knowing folks really care makes it all worth while. That's the best part of feedback, and one reason podcasters have to keep their head up and keep podcasting - someday you'll get a write-in. For us, it was two years after starting the show.

You do a great job and i appreciate the effort and time you guys put into these. Keep up the good work ;-) P.S. subscribing to the everyday drinkers podcast, seem exciting. i’ve been listening to podcasts for years now and i just never feel inclined to comment or leave feedback. mainly because subscribe to the rss feed or download it directly to my mp3 player. anyways i just stumbled on your website ( gamingpodcast.net) a few months ago and I’ve been enjoying it ever since.
