  • A milestone!

    From EricC@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 15 08:40:29 2023
    We hit a milestone this morning. 50,000 DLs on FilkCast.

    I didn’t expect this to fly. I figured there would be a few episodes, and then gone. I did not expect 215 episodes, 50k DLs, and that does not include SciFi.Radio listens.

    We’re coming up on 5 years. The November 8th show will be fun, our celebration of that time.

    Thank you everyone for your continuing support.

    Congratulations! But I'm not sure I know what DL means in this context. Downloads? More people stream than download podcasts. Something else
    which should be obvious?

    Got this answer from Eric on Dreamwidth:

    "I think most are downloaded. More accurate in this case would probably
    be listens."
