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…)

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