Great stats! Thanks for posting. I was particularly gratified to learn that the great majority of listeners use their phones. It makes sense that people want to listen while away from their desks. I wish we could tell what apps they use.

Which brings me to this question. Why does the iTunes button not work on our catalog pages? I used to be able to add books to my Podcast app with that button, but no more. I will post this on the Need Help forum.

Well, since those are the YouTube stats, I'd assume they use either a browser or the YouTube app. ;)

Looks like over half (52.8%) of our completed projects are solos, we have 653 unfinished projects, and it will take completing 21 more projects by New Years Eve to break our record of last year, or was it year before that, where we passed the 1,000 threshhold! We have 3 months to go, so I'm confident we can exceed that, since we're averaging over 100 projects completed per month and have 3 months to go.

Wow! 2 years of COVID lockdown did wonders for our numbers.....at least one good that came out of that disaster. :roll:
Consistently topping 1000 is plenty good, too. :D
