If you had said to me a year ago that the podcast I was about to start would have half a million downloads in its first year I would have laughed, shaken my head and raised an incredulous eyebrow. And yet, here we are.

This morning LibSyn reported the official half-millionth download of Pragmatic. Technically the show probably passed that milestone a few weeks ago because the first five episodes of the show were originally hosted on Amazon S3 and their stats are somewhat less easy to follow and aren’t included in that figure as a result. That said there were also a few extra with the feed troubles after I went Indie so I figure it should balance itself out.

The response to the new additions to the show including site memberships and voting on topics have been very positive and the show continues to grow and for that I am very grateful.

Thank you to every listener, every supporter, every guest and co-host that has appeared on the show, and thank you in advance to those yet to appear. You’re the best :)
