I’ve referenced it many times in various presentations/keynotes over the years.
His position hasn’t changed. And it’s never been wrong.
Are you sure you are #podcasting for the right reasons?

I am.
I'm with Dave. The minimum number of listeners for me to continue is zero.
It's not why I do it.

An addendum: When I went to #PodcastMovement one of the first bits of small talk from **literally** anybody was "What are your stats?" I answered honestly "I haven't known for 20 years."
When I signed on with Backbeat Media one of the perqs was getting hosting through their Cachefly account. Just between you me and the lamppost - although I get sponsorships now and then (at a rate low enough that surely I am losing them money) the value of that free hosting exceeds the value in cash money I have brought in.
Dave Hamilton knows my stats. I do not and have never asked because I don't want to know.
In my head I might have a number. Let's say the data is above that number. I'll feel good for what, 20 minutes? Let's say the number is below that. I'll feel bad for what, weeks? Months? Let's say it is **way** under that. I'll feel bad for what, forever?
I don't need to know. I don't want to know. I have enough people interacting with me to make me feel good. I have 37 patrons so if my listenership is 38 per episode I'm on the good side of the ledger.
For someone doing a decidedly anti-commercial podcast with no unifying theme, no set release schedule, no elevator pitch I have succeeded wildly above expectations. I feel good about that. So don't tell me a number I don't want to know.
