*wondering if you have RSS feeds on your site or other availability through iTunes*

ETA - I haven't clicked on your links so I don't know. Just asking.

I only asked the above question because I see you hawking your site each week with one of your podcasts. If somebody was really interested, they'd already have subscribed to your feeds. And if your podcast was that good, word of mouth would provide you with more subscribers and you wouldn't be here advertising.

It's amazing how you get to advertise your site each week yet others on here don't get that privilege without having their thread shut down.

I'm not advertising a site -I'm advertising a free podcast that me and two other people do as a hobby, so stop trying to make it out as something its not. We have 37 subscribers from here, yes, but are you saying that every single person on this forum knows about the podcast?

"hawking"? nice.

OK. You're not advertising a site. You're advertising yet another forum.

I haven't run into a podcast that I had to pay for so your podcast being free isn't exactly the first one out there.

But you're hoping that people actually spend some of their time and listen to what you have to say in that podcast so if you're going to advertise it here, at least tell us what's so special about it. What are you doing that's so different from all of the others?

Honestly, if it was something that was different from all of the others out there AND something I was interested in I would check it out and give it a shot. It just turns me off when I see you advertise for it here every week and makes me not click on your links at all. The fact that you get to advertise here every week while others trying to get their sites out there aren't allowed to is another thing that turns me off.

So how are you different? And what do you offer that a listener can't find elsewhere in another podcast?

We're just 3 people who are very passionate about gaming. I think what makes us stand out if not our personalities -but the way we present gaming news and views on the industry as it progresses. In this episode we introduce a new segment where we keep an eye and report on the microtransactions taking place on the marketplace. We're always trying to imrove the show.

I know all podcast are free -but you are missing my point. (you made it sound like I was selling something here. I'm not. I just want to be heard).

Our webpage has a flash player built right inot the page -you can listen to the podcast right there without downloading it.

Haha! You know that's one of our topics in the podcast. Infact, it's the first one. We all encourage all our listeners to donate.
