What if you passed a million podcast downloads, and sorta missed it?
Update: Help spread this around the blogosphere by Digging it! (Thanks to Ray for the ad.)
On October 18th, with very little fanfare, a major freaking milestone was achieved. It was on or about that time that we delivered over ONE MILLION podcast downloads. Quite the accomplishment in just over a year, I think.
A lot of folks inquire about the rolling download number and wonder about it’s accuracy. I don’t want to get into boring stats, but suffice to say that we don’t use server logs or any of the other smoke and mirror tricks. Since we require registration to access the podiobook episodes on our site (totally free of charge an spam- free, by the way), we use database information to pull the data.
At any rate, I’m stoked and you should be, too. Hats off to all of our authors. Without them, this would not have been possible. They rock. And you rock too, ‘cuz it was all y’all that did the downloading. Hell, everyone rocks!
Now, let’s go for a BILLION! (Yes, I’m good at math and sorta kidding. But it’s good to have goals…)

Congratulations Guys (and Gals)!
That’s an amazing milestone.
Well done!
Here’s to the opportunity of changing the sign just like McDonalds to “Billions and Billions Served”
All the Best,

If you’re still experiencing exponential growth, then a billion isn’t unreasonable. And you’ll be amazed when ten million sails on by.

Congratulations! Lots of work, I know, but it looks like it’s worth it.

Way to go guys!! I am so proud of you because you really have changed the face of entertainment was far as I am concerned. This is one of my favorite sites and the podiobooks are phenomenal. Keep up the great job and I will try my best as a rabid fan to spread the good word! Take care and may the pod be with you!
