Keeping Up Your Audiences


Keeping Up Yer Audiences

Episode 24 of 'Round The Archives' seems to be doing brisk business, which is nice. There's always a big spike in our figures in the 24 hours following a release, which I suppose might indicate that people are quite keen to listen to the new one.

The league table of nations for the last month looks something like this...


The interesting thing is the sudden appearance of Spain, which has never really featured on our radar before! So hello to whoever it is in Spain - hope you're enjoying the show!

Soundcloud allows you to take a look at your audience figures and see where they are, with YouTube and this blog allowing you to do similar analysis. However, the one thing it's harder to measure is the crossover between these three platforms.

Now, we know that some people take a look at the majority of what we do, but we can probably guess who those kind souls are, and most of them have probably helped out with 'RTA' in some form or other.

But we have had some kind comments on our 'Doctor Who On Twitch' videos from more mysterious people, whose user names give very little away. It's entirely possible that they're not aware of either this blog, or 'Round The Archives', although we do try and plug our other ventures when possible. But you don't want to bang on about it all the time, as it'll probably get on their wick.


With our last video having covered 'Ghost Light', 'The Curse Of Fenric' and 'Survival', we're thinking about how to keen this segment of our chums interested, so we put up a couple of bonus bits this morning, as an experiment.

Out-takes always seem to go down well, so it was an obvious choice to put up the (almost) full recording of the 'Juliet Bravo' sketch from Episode 24. I say 'full', but there are a couple of swearwords that had to be removed, so as not to give the impression that 'RTA' is the work of complete potty-mouths. No comments, please!

But it's coming up to two years now since we started planning Episode One, so I threw caution to the wind and bunged the audio of that onto YouTube as well, augmented by Martin's lovely 'Now on the small screen - IN COLOUR!!!' logo.


Although Episode Twelve is still our most listened-to edition, Episode One sits happily in second place, just ahead of Episode 14. I'm not goting to attempt to sort through the possible interpretations of the data, but for a first episode, I don't think it's too bad and is definitely helped by having Nick on board as our first guest.

I'll keep an eye on the reception Episode One gets and might follow this up in future, especially if we suddenly seem to gain a whole new audience.

How terribly multi-media! But we're still not professionals...

'Doctor Who On Twitch' - Part 43 can be seen here.
