You might notice there is yet again a new poll up at frontrowcrew.com. This time we're asking how you discovered GeekNights. Whether you select "other" or not, this is a good thread to let us know how you found us. This will help us determine the most effective ways to get new listeners. Once we do that, we will have a better idea of what direction to push in.

It was fairly random, I was reading Slashdot (it must have been a discussion about podcasts) around the middle of December, and some guy talked about the show and posted a link to here. I listened, found the show to be mildly entertaining, and so here I am today, purely by word of keyboard.
The guy from Slashdot sounded tentative about continuing to listen, so I wonder if he did keep listening. Perhaps he's on the forums? If so, I'd like to hear from him. Hopefully he knows who he is. -

Basically, up until this point, we have never advertised GeekNights beyond word of mouth. Starting just this past weekend with Animazement, we're going to start an actual advertising campaign (mostly at conventions) that will culminate in our show at Otakon.
I'm really curious to see what kinds of people appear in the forums and how much listenership increases with actual effort. ^_~ -
I found a flyer for it on a table at Animazement last week. So your effort with that paid off with at least one person.

I ticked 'Podcast directory', but more specifically, I found GeekNights while browsing the directories available in Juice podcast receiver. I thought the name was interesting and gave it a try. The first episode I heard was How to not suck at driving, and have listened through most episodes since. -

Alex posted a link on the Wesnoth forums.

Well, when I was in Egypt trying to discover the secrets of the ancients I found a manuscript and spelled out a riddle and after many years of searching for the answer, I finally figured it out and it said “listen to Geeknights” So here I am…..
Yes that was lame. I heard about it from word of mouth.. namely Rym and Scott’s mouth. -
I picked 'another podcast or blog'. By blog, I meant Scott's blog. Which I found by word of mouth.
EDIT: Damnit, didn't pick the html checkbox. -

I was itching to get back into video games, but I had been out of the scene for so long that I decided to search under "video game podcasts." GeekNights came up. True story. -
-
I got interviewed by Rym. Thought I'd check it out to hear what he had to say, ended up liking the show.
Sweet and simple. -
I had just found out about podcasts, so I was searching yahoo directory, and there it was. Funny, cause yahoo really sucks when it comes to posting your RSS.

I was just going through the internet and I was looking at slashdot and I saw something about podcasts so I went to go check them out and I saw something that said GeekNights and I was like lets ckeck it out. -
-
Your show was mentioned on Mark Johnson's "BoardgamesToGo". Tried it and loved it. And I'm even listening to the Anime stuff though I'm really not into that - it's just a pleasure to hear you guys communicate. Keep it up.

Found you on itunes while looking for more anime podcast around your 3rd or 4th podcast, and found out you guys talk about more stuff i like.

I was looking for some technology related podcasts. I found Geeknights in the Yahoo! Podcast directory. I enjoyed the tech episodes so I decided to give the other ones a try, even though I'm not into anime or video games.
After I started listening, I put some anime films in my NetFlix queue and have enjoyed them. I haven't started playing video games yet though. :)
I enjoy listening to the banter between Rym and Scott. They are more enjoyable to listen to than most of the "professionals" on the radio. -
Upon getting an iPod I randomly searched for anime podcasts @_@ Boom Bam!
-
Some asshole kept bothering me to listen to his podcast.
-
Movies You Should See pointed me here. I was sent there by some other podcast that ended up being crap and I unsubscribed from (honestly don't remember the name). I was sent there by the guys from The Dragon Page who were referred by Geek Fu Action Grip who I first learned about from a PA newspost.
And there you see that Penny Arcade really is the center of the entire internets. -
You were mentioned on the Board Games to Go podcast.

itunes directory, I was searching for computers I think. -
I was cruising around looking for something to do online and came across a podcast subscription page. Geeknights caught my eye so I listened to the episode, subscribed in Itunes and downloaded every episode that I could find. This is an awesome show.
-
I got a flyer at Connecticon and met Rym and Scott.
-
I was searching the itunes directory for manga and geeknights showed up.
-
Hello everyone! I found GeekNights when I heard both Rym & Scott on Ian Levenstein's GeekSpeak podcast. I listened to the first couple episodes and was hooked! Thanks a ton for a great quality podcast guys!

I know them. Sadly, I've also seen both in nary a thing but a towel. -

I downloaded iTunes for Windows version 6.0.2 but hadn't got around to using the Podcasts menu seriously until around February 2006. When I first used the podcast directory in the iTunes music store I was searching for video game and PC audio podcasts and a weird black rectangular image with "Geek Nights" in blue italic script appeared. I was rather perplexed that Geek Nights came up on my queries more than once during my searches, so I finally gave in and browsed the episode listings.
In the Science & Tech feed I found a topic that I was VERY interested in; a three-part series on how to buy a computer (December 12, 19 and 26). I had planned to begin building my first computer within a few months and though I had researched the topic, subscribed to three PC magazines and read countless reviews on motherboards and AMD's Athlon 64 processors I felt it could be interesting listening from a vocal point-of view. Though every component that you discussed were facts that I already researched it was still the most entertaining. I subscribed to the "All Geek Nights" feed on my PSP, my Presario SW4020M, and my Optiplex at work, finally joined the forums and here I am.

I first downloaded Two geeks a mic and a podcast, that leaded me to Geekintertaiment, and I tried to type that on google and then i got Geeknights, it was that simple. :P

I was at the Otakon 2006 Podcast panel and that's how I found out about Geek Nights.
I was the guy that stood in front of the speaker with the microphone on. I apologize for that, I was very tired that morning and didn't realize where I was standing. I was in a bit of a daze. -

iTunes...
I did a search in iTunes for gaming podcasts and this one showed up... It was a while later before I found out it was nightly and not weekly... -

You were on Movies you Should See a while back and sounded pretty interesting, so I checked you out and have been listening ever since. -
You can blame the Ninja Consultants. I was listening to their podcast about Otakon and they mentioned the assassination attempt. I decided to listen on your podcast for more details about Daryl from AWO trying to kill you two and I realized the here was a pretty cool podcast that covered all sorts of cool stuff I was interested in.

I saw an ad that wasn't too flashy on the flyer table at AnimeNEXT and decided "what the hell it might be worth listen to" so since then I have listened to every episode. -
-
I first heard of this podcast when the "Movies You Should See" podcast ( http://moviesyoushouldsee.libsyn.com/rss ) started saying how you were the only podcast they ever listened to . I headed straight on over and have been working my way through your archives ever since :)

I was on iTunes in Nov 05 when I first bought an iPod, and one of my NCOs told me about podcasts, and I did a search for "Geek" and this was one of them that came up. Then I searched for "Comics" and it came up again, so I decided to download it. Of the first 15 I downloaded, this is one of 2 that I still listen too. The other being "Geekdrone". -

I've had my ipod mini for about two years but this is the first podcast I've started listening to regularly (it's only been a week yet though ^^).
A forum post got me interested in podcasting as I realised there were people out there discussing topics I'm interested in, mainly anime and manga. Also, I'd been working on my Rising Stars of Manga for ages and ages, and I was running out of good stuff to listen to.
The first podcast I tried was Mangacast, but I soon found GeekNights. The rest is one-week-old history... -
I originally found GeekNights while searching for anime podcasts on Yahoo podcasts, but the front page didn't looks anime related so I though yahoo had messed up and I moved on. The podcast game up again while searching for video game podcasts so I added GN to my podcast reciever and listened to the latest episode.. but it was about boardgames which didn't interest me so again I moved on.. but I forgot to remove the feed so I kept on automatically downloading episodes. A few weeks later while cleaning out my computer to free up some hard drive space I noticed you guys did an episode on Master Keaton, one of my favorite shows of all time. That is how GN got itself another fan, third time is the charm I suppose.
-
I started off by listening to Otaku Generation. From there, I heard about Anime World Order on OG's 1 year old podcast, so I started listening to them. In one AWO episode (can't remember which one, sorry), a GeekNights thing played, and I was intriuged. I just started listening a few weeks ago (from iTunes) and have been hooked since.
-
Actually, Mookie, the guy who writes Dominic Deegan linked to Geeknights' roundtable at Otakon on his LJ so fans could hear him. I followed the link, and listened to another show, laughed so hard I nearly peed and decided I'd keep listening.

AWO played your.....promo thing, and so did Anime Pulse, so I heard of it though them, which was cool. AWO mentioned some kind of...um whatever you guys have going with them. They mentioned it, so I poked my nose in, found you guys funny, and stuck around. -
I heard of Geeknights via Mark Johnson's board gaming podcast "Boardgames to Go" (http://www.boardgamestogo.com). Board gamers should give it a listen!
After Geeknights, natch.

Word of mouth. I was at my friend Sarah's house and was looking at her list of podcasts. She told me that yours was a good show and that she was sad that she didn't have much time free to listen to it.
I listened to the Tuesday and Wednesday shows only for a while, then I pointed iTunes to the full stream and have enjoyed the Thursday and Monday shows as well. -
-
I actually followed a link on Aido's LJ and listened to the Webcomics Roundtable from a while back. Now I'm up to May in the archives (been listening while I paint my wall mural which is going to be awesome) and here I am on the forums...
I'm pretty keen on podcasts now. I don't have an Mp3 player though so I have to listen at the computer. Bit of a shame given my one hour each way commute to uni each day. Been listening to Artist's Alley too. :D Thanks for mentioning it, guys! -
I was sitting at my computer with my Firefox browser open and I hit Stumble. The site that came up, the name escapes me now, had a link to a thing called "Geeknights" I thought "Huh. That looks interesting", I clicked the link and I've been hooked ever since.
-
I heard about it from Mookie, who was in the round table from Otakon. That, in and of itself, was pretty damn amusing to listen to, so now, every Friday, I devote like 4 hours to listening to the archives. XD
It's so different, but still, so amusing. -
Like a few of the people on here I found the podcast through a promo played on AWO.
