I just checked the webserver logs, and the first 2 podcasts have been downloaded a total of 237 times so far. Holy crap! I would have guessed maybe half a dozen times. Wow. I just did some basic math on that, and that's over a gigabyte of podcast downloady goodness! (thank goodness for campus bandwidth ;-) ) As Adam would say: "Boing!"
And I've gotten some interesting feedback as well. I found the podcasting experience strangely cathartic, so I plan to make a bit of time to keep experimenting with it. I spent a few minutes over the weekend messing around with GarageBand to make the requisite Cheesy Podcast Intro. It should be Just Cheesy Enough...
