1000th Episode Coming Soon!

September 11, 2008 by Cliff Ravenscraft 

Stephanie and I started podcasting back in December of 2005. Since then we have launched nearly thirty unique podcasts. As of today, we still have more than 18 shows that remain in production at gspn.tv. The numbers I’m about to share with you do not include any episodes that I produce for any of my consulting clients or for Watermark Community Church. I have also excluded blog and video blog entries where either an audio or video media file was not delivered via a syndication feed.

As we are quickly approaching our third anniversary of podcasting, I was searching through our podcast archives today, to see if I could coordinate our 1,000th podcast episode to coincide with our 3rd Podcast Anniversary on December 16th. Imagine my shock when I browsed through all the archives only to recognize that the very next gspn.tv podcast episode that we will produce will be our 1,000th gspn.tv podcast episode that we have officially released.

I’m not kidding when I say this rocked my world. I’ve intentionally put off my morning recording of My Crazy Life and the Almost Daily Devotional as I’m considering waiting for Stephanie to join me for this milestone in our podcasting efforts. Since I was looking at some of the archived data, I looked at some other interesting facts. In just under three years, we have served more than THREE MILLION file downloads. Given that the over all average length of our episodes is approximately 45 minutes per episode, that works out to be approximately 750 hours worth of content produced.

I can’t decide if this constitutes as me “tooting our own horn” or not. I simply found this information to be quite astonishing and I simply had to share it with someone. Look for a special episode of My Crazy Life to be recorded some time today or this evening for release tomorrow.

Seriously, I had no idea that it was this much.

  • Cliff that is awesome. I know I only started listening to your podcasts about a month ago, but Congrats on 1000. It will take me forever to get 1000 at www.onsportsnetwork.com but it is something you should be proud and happy of. You do not come off as someone who would brag, so it doesn't come across like you are tooting your own horn.
  • Congrats! What an achievement! Here's to ten thousand more.
  • Congrats Cliff & Stephanie - That is so awesome. You guys should be so proud. Im happy to be part of the GSPN community. keep up the great work!
  • Incredible! When it comes to podcasts you want shows that are 1) rich in content 2) consistent 3) high quality. GSPN meets all those requirements and adds a great community as well! Keep moving forward.

    Congratulations on 1,000 excellent episodes!
  • Cliff, has it been that long? Wow. I can't believe it. I am so proud to be one of the people who listened to your first podcast.

    I bet that you don't I remember how we found each other.

    I started watching the first season of LOST in Octoboer 2005. Around November, I was so intringued with the show that I googled LOST. Your blog showed up and I made a comment to your entry. The rest is history.

    My friend, if you need to toot your horns, go for it. You certainly deserve it. You don't know how proud I am of you. And you know that I am spreding the word out there for you.
  • Congrats Cliff and Steph! I've been one of your faithful 'lurkers'/listeners from the beginning. I remember downloading one of your episodes about Lost and then having to go back and listen to about 15 episodes all in a row in 1 week. From there, I was hooked to all of your podcasts. Thanks for all the great work you produce! You have encouraged and entertained me many many days.

    p.s. I would become a plus member if I could, but right now all of my expenses are going towards school. Keep up the great work & don't quit because I hope to become a plus member eventually.

    Congrats,
    Sharon

  • CONGRATULATIONS!! That is certainly a horn that needs tooting, so no worries on that! I'm a "newish" listener, so I'll look forward to being part of your 2nd thousand!

    God's blessings on your future!
