Title: Rate Best Show on Itunes
Post by: RemyLBO on May 25, 2012, 02:06:47 AM
I feel sort of silly posting about this, because I know Tom probably doesn't care about this crap.  Tom never begs for this, like all the other podcasts. 

But every FOT should go to Itunes to rate and comment for the Best Show podcast. 

It is the main thing that makes a difference in the podcast charts, and I for one am sick of weird podcast competitions where the Best Show doesn't get a mention.

I know we all listen live, and I know this stuff is beneath Tom, but it takes 1 minute to do.

Done.  For both the show proper and Best Show Gems.

Isn't the iTunes podcast chart based on the number of new subscriptions? I've heard hosts asking their listeners to unsubcribe and then resubscribe as an easy way to boost their shows up the chart.

I've never heard that, but I know it's not based on the $206,000 pledge drive.  So, it's missing the real picture, for sure.
