Results of the RPG Podcast Listener Survey 2009

Scott — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:52:28 +0000

The RPG Podcast Listener Survey was conducted in May 2009. The survey was anonymous and gathered data on listeners’ demographics, spending habits, podcast listening, and favorite gaming system. 76 podcasts participated by advertising on their shows, linking from their sites, and including their podcasts names in the survey.

The survey deadline had to be extended due to increased and continuing participation. In the end, 549 listeners completed the survey. That’s a lot of data! The shows that participated received the raw data for their own use, but we’ve decided to release the general findings to the public.

The results come in two forms, a report on the survey results in PDF format and Google Earth files. You will need to have Google Earth installed to use the later.

Results and Analysis of the RPG Podcast Listener Survey May 2009

Map of US Listeners

Map of Non-US Listeners

These map files take a while to load as Google Earth plots each postal code onto the map (you can read the PDF while you wait). In the US, New England will populate out of sequence due to a data entry glitch. Unfortunately the non-US data consists of primarily the UK and Canada. It appears that Google Earth couldn’t translate most of the formats of postal codes given from other countries.

The map files list the preferred game system of each listener as the name of their map point. Inside each pop-up the gender, marital status, and three favorite podcasts of the listener are included. (I apologize for the poor formatting of the data in the pop-ups; the HTML work needed there exceeded my abilities.)

If you want to discuss these results or if you’ve discover interesting trends in the data, you can leave comments here or discuss it on the thread in the Spooky Outhouse Forums.

Episode 001: The Down Under, Story Hodge Podge Swarm

admin — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 19:36:24 +0000

Welcome to Episode 1 of a new cross-show cast we’re trying. The plan is to get a few different hosts from a few different shows on each month to kick around a topic and see what they come up with. No host can host back-to-back episodes, so you wont’ see Scott, Rob, Rib or David back at least for two months.

Enjoy!

Hosts:

David – The Podge Cast
Scott – Story Shtick
Rob – Bear Swarm
Rib – The Downuder Gamer Show

Intro Music: Cosmic Protector by The Separates
