Pie
Thanks for filling in our survey. We've already had, at last count, 237 respondents. This is really encouraging, and illuminating. The more the merrier. As a further inducement, here's a sneak preview of a pie chart made of you. If you want to be in a pie like this, get involved. (Robster, in the post below, felt bad about being "negative" in his answers, but we're not fishing for praise, merely taking the temperature of people who already download the podcast. We sort of think we know what you think, but "assume" makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me", as twats say.) Mmmm, pies.

Lovely 3d pie chart. It's worth it for the pie charts alone.
What percentage had found the podcast through 'The Times, Time Out, or other publication'? That's the one I chose. Do I get to be some tasty filling too?
0.84% of people found the podcast through The Times, Time Out, or other publication.
I'll post all the pie charts when the survey has closed (first week of November).
Keep in mind that your results are going to be unrealisticly slanted towards people finding out about the podcast from your websites.
So far the survey has only been mentioned on your sites and people who are sat infront of a computer reading blogs are more likely to complete the survey than people who are sat on a bus listening to their ipods. Just a thought.

The nature of the podcast makes the survey a little hard to answer straight. I did my best though. I filled it in naturally, then went back and changed all the things that it had amused me to put down but weren't actually true, like that one of the things that I like about you is your Mr. Bean voice (not that I hate it, it doesn't put me up nor down).
I would participate but I'd have to pretend to listen to the podcast. Perhaps this might lend me a more informed opinion though. Not biased either way by the contents therein.
461 respondents now. That's almost Mori.

Hardly Andrew - MORI frequently survey tens of thousans of people.
It's lucky I was joking then, isn't it, Stephen!
But pretty good compared with a magazine's readership survey!

As, of course, was I. (I'm sure you knew that.)
Ah, but you forgot to use the handy exclamation mark! (It's a trick I learned from the Beano.)

Actually, if you're going to use the standard confidence level indicators as used by people like MORI, and on the assumption that the Wikipedia article is about right and that you do actually have 20,000 listeners, to have a 95% confidence level that your answers reflect the views of the entire population within a margin of error of + or - 5%, you'd only need to survey 377 people.
This means that if 50% of respondants picked a particular answer, you could be 95% confident that between 45-55% of your entire listenership would respond in the same way. This is the same levels of confidence used by cred market research companies like MORI.

I am ashamed of myself.
Yes! My name in web!
And as an example of what not to do, too. I'm this blog's equivalent of the kid who threw his frisbee into the electrical transformer thingy and then tried to retrieve it.
In my face, survey!
541 respondents as of 10 o'clock this morning, and that's without the call-out on today's podcast, which we record in about an hour's time!
Eat shit, Mori!!!
