Podcasts for Your Listening Pleasure

I’m digging what Vanguard is doing with podcasting.

    I’ve been pondering Podshow+ interfering with our statistics. Could
    you put in a redirect. Run whatever script you use to get the info of
    whoever is subscribed to the Podshow+ feed, then redirect them to OUR
    FEED for the actual content?

    I can’t stand the idea of everyone who
    is subscribed via Podshow+ not showing up on my Feedburner
    statistics.

    Is there also a way you could also apply this same idea
    to your “channel” feeds?

    Feedback would be appreciated,

    Interesting ideas here. Of course we’ve updated the XML buttons to link back to the original feed. Regarding the channel feeds, there’s a well-understood solution employed by a number of online aggregators: insert the number of subscribed users into our user agent string, like this:

    “NewsGatorOnline/2.0 (http://www.newsgator.com; 61 subscribers)”

    FeedBurner and others factor these numbers in their stats count. Consider it in our queue.
