What does this mean for NPRone? Does anyone use that?

Anyone know about RAD? What are our thoughts about tracking?

What apps do we use and why?

Email newsletters are able to see who is subscribed, if they open, and what they click on.

Podcasters are able to see... download numbers... and don't even know if an episode is played.

Do we want podcasters to have more anonymous information about us?

(If you enjoy newsletters about podcasts, you can subscribe to the Podcast Advocate Newsletter for recommendations, podcasting tips, industry news, and more.)

What do we think about rating and reviewing podcasts online? Is it helpful? Does anyone find a new podcast from a review?
