[The Skinny]

Here's the link to the USA Today article.

Congrats to everyone who got mentioned. We were thrilled to have our show mentioned and have us quoted in there as well. So nice to be included in such great company.

Keep up the great work everyone!

So I've been twisting my partner's arm about making a commitment to podcasting, and I know that USA today has done this article (no doubt in the entertainment section or back in the nether-reaches of the paper).

And we're standing in line at a Starbucks on the Florida Turnpike waiting for a lattefix, and I'm twisting his arm so hard that beads of sweat are starting to form on his brow. "This is expanding far faster than I thought it would, " I say.

"Uh huh," he says patronizingly, and I look over and see, above the fold, right below the USA-Today logo, right on the front page, a big picture of an Ipod with a 36point podcasting story tease.

He's coming around.

Let me add my thanks to everybody who helped get this in print.

I'm just wondering, how much has traffic increased on the site since these articles came out? The articles were hard to miss.

[Ian]

I know my traffic had a nice boost, and we were only mentioned in the top ten list...

I wasn't in the USA Today article but the AP article boosted my traffic 10x and it has settled down to 2x.
