Just wanted to add a note on the 're-run' concept. I'm actually in agreement with Tom on the need, for one main reeason In my experience, about half the people who join a new podcast only grab the most recent show, and work forward from there. Most of the other half will download all the files in the RSS feed, but no more. It's a rare person who delves back into the archvies. Most archive views come from (IMO) search engines and built in Flash players on the permalinked shows. So if there is excellent material, why not point it out n the feed to new listeners. About a year ago I started pulling out single music tracks from old TPN Rock Shows to create TPN Rock Again, wher I highlight one band I played a long time ago that still deserve attention. Its a five minute long cast (compared to the 35-40 minute rgular shows), it provides a great service, and the listeners love it. Remember, the only rules are what we decide!
