I do wish we could get to some consistency about podcast/radio listening figures. Here's Richard Brooks in The Observer this weekend about the Radio 4 series, Tunnel 29: "This 10-part story about the digging of a tunnel under the Berlin Wall in 1961 to help people escape from the east to the west has so far garnered more than 3 million listeners."
The ten heavily-plugged parts were launched simultaneously on BBC Sounds, then ran across two weeks on Radio 4. Since then, they been stitched together into two lumps and rebroadcast on Radio 4.
Some apportionment of the 3 million would be really helpful. A wider release of figures from all podcasts will have to come soon. The BBC's whole case for sign-in on Sounds and iPlayer is about data - high time to give some back.
