Noted. I was worried it would get annoying, so thanks for confirming that worry. I’ll experiment with posting some not on the front-page, and see if they get significantly fewer listens.
I listen to a good amount of podcasts using the Pocket Casts app (or at least I did for a couple years up until a few weeks ago when I realized that I find YouTube explanations of tech topics a lot more informative). But when I’m browsing the EA Forum, I’m not really interested in listening to podcasts, especially podcast versions of posts I’ve already read that I could easily re-read on the EA Forum. I think this is a cool project but after the first couple of audio narration posts which were good for generating awareness of this podcast, I don’t think it’s necessary to continue these top-level posts. I think it would still be worthwhile to experiment with not posting some episodes on the front-page and seeing how that affects the number of listens.
Thanks! This is really good feedback. One person saying something could mean anything, but two people saying the same thing is a much stronger signal that that thing is a good idea.
I’ll be a third person here: the narrations are nice, but are starting to clutter the front page.
I’d recommend having one big post where you list all the narrations you’ve done, with links to the appropriate posts or comments. That post can have the “audio” tag so people find it when they look for audio, and it’s a handy way for you to link to the full set of recordings at once if you want people to know about the resource.
