Glad to hear the podcast is staying – personally, my only contact with your site has been the podcast. The podcast format is perfect, as I can download it to my mp3 player, and make my transit and exercise more enjoyable. :)
Thank you for what you do. My financial situation is too miserable right now to contribute, but if I ever get out of the financial hole I’ve gotten myself into, I’ll be sure to give back to the podcasts like yours, that enrich my life so.

Thanks, everyone. Very much. I really appreciate the feedback and advice.

I have a revised new plan: Stay tuned for more podcasts.

I’ve only listened to the podcast so far, but have just subscribed to the RSS feed and joined up on Facebook. Either way works for me – I subscribe to too many skeptical feeds AND too many skeptical podcasts.

I am relatively new to your site. I have never listened to your podcast but I have enjoyed the social aspect of written posts with opportunity for comments. I’m not sure podcasts offer such social aspects. Longer, more detailed posts may be a double edged sword – enticing some – discouraging others. I’d encourage you to do what you want. The quality of content will ultimately sustain your readership (or not).

Here’s what I think:

I seldom listen to the podcast, so I don’t care much about it.

I think longer intervals between publishing might be a good thing, although I would not make the interval longer than two weeks.

I love the podcast. I rarely get time to visit other websites and rely on my podcasts during my busy day. I hope you continue your podcast it is the only way I experience your content.

just my 2 cents, but i am a podcast fan and will miss the podcasts. i will subscribe via google reader, but i dunno, there is just something much more substantial about the podcasts. it literally gives you a voice and connection i don’t get from reading the printed word.

Andy, I travel a lot and find podcasts a great way to catch up on the news. I would miss your podcast. However I understand how much time it takes to produce the podcast, and would not fault you if you dropped this from your schedule.
Best, Greg

Thomas makes a good point. I don’t expect a weekly show, and I even get backlogged a bit due to all of the other podcasts I subscribe to, but I do listen to every episode eventually. I also subscribe to the article feeds, so I don’t miss when the articles are posted and usually read them if they’re relevant to my interests.
Look at QuackCast’s update schedule… Mark Crislip is all over the place. He’ll go a few months without putting a show up, then he’ll occasionally release 2 or 3 in the same month.
Or SkepTech for that matter, they do one show per month, but sometimes they skip a month or 5.
