Or more like, things that make you go "Huh?".  If you look to the right, there's a listing of our current top ten episodes for the month.  Look at what's at number one.  It's weird.  It's the kind of stuff I saw over at Podomatic all the time.  We'd get these odd bumps on odd days for no rhyme or reason and then on the days when we should have had more traffic, it was kind of quiet.  Couple that with the fact that I wasn't hearing anything from hardly anyone about the show and I knew it wasn't getting to as many people as Podomatic said.

With that said, I did some checking to see if such spikes occurred with my other two feeds on Mevio, Chronic Rift Classic and Chronic Rift Post-Mortem After Party. Neither one showed that kind of a spike.

All right, next I contacted Mevio.  They claim it's mostly traffic from iTunes.  And then I started seeing it.  Look at the other shows on the list. Last year's "Match Game" and "The Evolution of Horror" episodes are also on the list.  And shows from earlier this season like "Podcasts We Love" and "Paul Cornell".  Now, sometimes these older shows pop up because I repost them on Facebook for new followers there to listen to, but this isn't the case with these particular shows.

People are sampling the shows.  New people.  New listeners.

So, I just wanted to take a moment, in my usual roundabout way, to welcome any new listeners here to the show and ask that you please take a moment to let us know what you think about what you've heard, both old and new.  We appreciate you taking the time to listen and we hope to be serving your listening needs for a long time to come.
