I suppose I've been a little lazy about the blog lately but I just can't seem to get anything done. That is, except for writing and even that doesn't seem to be going as fast as I would like it to. Right now I'm going through the poems I posted to Podcast Ping and putting together a book of them, or at least selected poems. Then I've got to find a publisher, which isn't easy for poetry.

 

I also want to get another episode of The Blue Hot Gossip Comedy Show out but I need to take the time to develop new routines. Interestingly, the joke about Paris Hilton training for the Olympics has been downloaded over 6,700 times on Mininova! And that's for just one routine. Torrentcasting has worked well for me. For a little under 100 podcasts, my podcasts collectively have been downloaded over 180,000 times, averaging about 1,800 downloads per podcast episode. And when one factors in that many don't download and listen to all the episodes, I could have reached over 10,000 listeners. For comparison, a first book is expected to sell 5,000 copies while many magazines reach over 100,000. But the numbers do make the work of producing the podcast worthwhile, and I'm contantly getting better.
