This represents a milestone in the shows life-cycle. Many exciting things have happened during the month of February 2012. We made it on to the front page of the "What's Hot" listing in iTunes Heath category of audio podcast. A random person during a phone call on Wednesday said he recognized the name of the show and that his wife listened (by the way I mistakenly said he was with Insight Communications and was based in Georgia but in actuality he is in Kentucky outside of Louisville). I have been recognized as the host of the show at fitness and anti-aging shows but I expect my audience to be there. But a random phone call.... that was a first that totally caught me by surprise. And now this...

I was afraid that February wouldn't be a good month for tabulating downloads because we migrated to another sever. You may or may not notice but the website loads faster and downloads occur faster now that we have moved to a more robust server with many more mirrored hard drives. This created a problem. I could not upload shows fast and I could not update the RSS feed for a few days. The end of the month was baring down on me and I was able to get the RSS feed updated late yesterday afternoon. Luckily the iTunes and other Podcast aggregator clients out there downloaded all the missed shows by evenings end. And behold the results above. Click the thumbnail to see the full sized image.

All of these achievements are not mine. They are yours. Believe this because I know that without you to carry the message, live the life and drive the show I would be sitting in my studio talking to the wall. I own none of this success. It belongs to each and every listener. And you can be proud that you and your team, your beliefs and wisdom - are gaining gravity. And more and more are flocking to our cause. We can change a significant portion of humanity with this show. And I am humbled by the knowing that you allow me to serve you. These words have not been rehearsed. They flow from a stream of consciousness deep within.

Many claim to be the top radio show by this standard or that. None, to my knowledge, ever let their true numbers be known, never mind published for the world to see. iTunes will not tell Podcasters how many downloads they get. Its up to the producers to track and reveal these numbers. Above is a thumbnail of a screenshot taken moments earlier of my Weblog Expert web stat software of February's final totals. Click it to enlarge it and see for yourself.  You, broke 750,000 downloads in this short month of February. Each and every one of you should own this very significant achievement.

I go to the Arnold this year a prouder person. I will tell everyone and anyone that will listen that I have the most intelligent, most dedicated, healthiest, hard working, physically and mentally strong  audience on the planet Earth. No other radio show host can say that.
