And speaking of links, a listener posted a link to Nick’s commentary on The Office on the forums at Television Without Pity this week, and hundreds of people followed that link here. Similarly, a listener sent the link to our Jackson Publick show to some blogs who cover the animation and comics world, and it had a similar effect. Often our biggest referrers come from unlikely places — for a long time we were geting a lot of referrals from the “miscellany” section of a board about import car tuning.
I think a lot of our shows are of interest to people who don’t already listen to the show. You can help connect the dots. I post the show in a couple of places where I’m a known quantity, but a third party reccomendation from you will mean a lot to anyone who receives it. Please share show links on your blogs, livejournals, myspace pages, and favorite forums. And if you know a blogger who would enjoy a particular episode, let them know. You can always find the permalink to a blog item by click on the posting date at the bottom of the entry.
I give away the show for free (and license it to allow sharing) in large part to help people share it. So go for it!
