You might think that such an achievement would live on in the annals of baseball and broadcasting history. But, it didn’t. In Episode 54, Out Of My Mind podcast host Jay Douglas tells Dettweiler’s story, and he names the breakfast cereal that was behind her career…such as it was.

Podcasts live or die on downloads. They’re the Nielsen ratings of the business. The more downloads we get the better our chances of attracting sponsors. And sponsors mean we’ll be able to research more little-known stories about well-known stuff. Oh, and we’ll also be able to give way decent contest prizes, not to mention thank you gifts for such things as using your comments on the air. So, if you enjoy the show, here are some ways you can help us right now:
- subscribe to the show;
- leave a review on iTunes;
- tell your friends about the show, ask them to subscribe and listen and to tell their friends to subscribe and listen.
The economics of podcasting require shows like Out Of My Mind to have at least 200 downloads every day to attract a sponsor, and I can tell you we’re not even close. But with your help we will be. Thanks for supporting the launch of our little program and thanks for helping us grow.
