The Word Nerds would be very grateful if everyone listening could complete the audience survey on our website, thewordnerds.org. See the navigation column on the right side of the web page. This survey will give us valuable statistical evidence of who is listening to our show, so that any advertising we do is appropriate and directed at the right people.
If you complete the survey by August 30, 2008, you have the chance to win a number of prizes, including the grand prize of an iPod Touch.

Done! Keep up the good work; I love your show! Und…ich habe fur funf jahre Deutsch in der Schule gestudieren! (My apologies if that was rusty, it was quite a while ago). Cheers, Tony
I have been enjoying your podcast for only a short while. I was referred to this podcast from Jesse Thorn – The Sound of Young America
I just wanted to drop a comment to follow up the survey. I greatly enjoy your podcast. It is high-quality and very thoughtful. I am a librarian, and I do a couple of podcasts out of our community college library, so I greatly appreciate your work.
I’ve wanted to leave a comment about how often I listen. I juggle a number of podcasts, and, depending on the time of year, I tend to fall behind on them. Right now, I am about a year out of date. I know that there will be some point in the future on a plane, or in a car, or sometime that I will listen to a few episodes and catch up. But, I wondered if you guys ever think of those of us more “irregular” listeners? Sometimes, your podcast is like a message to the future. You will say things that indicate the time of year or current events, and it shocks me out of my listening stupor and it is like I am taken back in time. When this happens, I always think, “I need to drop by the Word Nerd site and leave them a comment.”
I thought that one question on your listener survey that was missing was a question to ask how diligent the individual listener might be, or how quickly does the listener actual listen.
Keep up the good work. If you mention this comment in an upcoming podcast, I may hear it in 2009 or maybe 2010.
Tried to fill out the survey, which worked fine until I got to the end. I didn’t get the box to enter my email address. I don’t want to skew the results and do it all again, but thought I’d let you know about the problem.
Cheers!
Thanks for the comments, all. A couple of people have asked me about where to put in your email address. The box for your email address should be at the very top of the survey page, once you click the survey advertising graphic.
