I'll level with you guys.... my podcasts have gotten nothing but bad reviews. Some have taken the high road and offered constructive criticism; while others have simply said "it sucked". Not a lot of positive feedback coming my way, folks.
The stats aren't too bad: each podcast has gotten about 300 downloads and a few thousand clicks of the play button. However, there's a paltry 30 or so actual subscribers.... and, as I just said, the feedback has been awful.
I'll be honest, I'm not quite sure why. I've actually listened to my own podcasts repeatedly and loved them. I realize I don't talk much on them, but Retrospace is where I let my voice loose, not a podcast. There's tons of clips and soundbites that I find plenty entertaining. What gives?
Answer: I don't care. I don't get paid to run Retrospace. It's 100% a labor of love, and I happen to enjoy putting these short little podcasts together. And, frankly, when Retrospace started back in 2008 there wasn't a whole lot of positive feedback then either. I just kept doing what I loved and kept trying to improve. In the end, it found a pretty significant audience.
In the end, it's all for fun. If it catches on, good. If not, oh well, it was fun anyway. I certainly do appreciate input, positive or negative. If even a few of you out there get as much enjoyment listening to it as I did making it, it will have been worthwhile. Merry Christmas.
