As of early on Sunday, the total number of downloads across our entire catalog of audio shows passed the three million mark! And it was just 10 months ago we hit two million and 15 months before that when we hit one million.
Josh, Ron and I started the iFanboy Pick of the Week Podcast in 2005, pretty much on a lark, and we had no idea what we were in for. We had no idea that it would help us meet so many great people and make so many good friends. We had no idea that that first audio show would be the initial domino to fall in a long and hard journey that would eventually lead to full time jobs in comics media. So many crazy thing have happened to us in the last five years since we started producing our shows but we're still staggered when we see numbers that reach into the millions.
None of this would be possible without all of you and we will always be eternally grateful for our audience, the iFanbase. So, a big thank you goes out to everyone who has ever listened to our shows! We do it for all you folks.
A special thank you goes out for all of you who have sent in e-mails, called and left voicemails, attended any of the live recordings, left iTunes reviews, or have generally gone the extra mile to support us and our shows.
If I can be permitted one more round of gratitude: thanks to Gordon the Intern, Jim Mroczkowski, Paul Montgomery, Mike Romo, Tom Katers, Chris Neseman, Jason Wood, Ryan Haupt, Evie Nagy, Augie de Blieck Jr., Sonia Harris, and Jonathan London for their stellar guest starring, co-hosting, and fill-in duties. And thanks to all of the guests on Talksplode, and on Don't Miss. And a special thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors (who sell fine products, you should check them out).
We have a blast doing our shows and hanging out with all of you fine people every week! And with that said, the road to four million begins now!

That’s crazy awesome news guys, here’s to 4million in 5 months
Wow, I knew the podcast was popular, I just didn’t realize it was INSANELY popular! And to think that doesn’t include streaming from the website!
@NaveenM It does count streaming.
I didn’t think ifanboy was that BIG, I guess I was wrong, I’ve enjoyed the show since 2006, where have the last five years gone??
CONGRATS, keep it up ifanboy community!!!!!1
incredible! that’s amazing!!
3,000,001..
You’re still only a fraction of what McDonald’s has done. Get cracking at it!
Congrats by the way.
@conor – Oh, well, listening via streaming is still technically a download I suppose. 3,000,000 is still 3,000,000. Impressive!
Congrats guys!!!
Congrats guys!
Wow, you guys really hit the BIG TIME! Kudos!
Good lord! Thats a lot of downloads………………………………………………… I’m responsible for at least 3 or 4. Maybe……..
Wow. 3M? Congrats. Keep it going. 🙂
Congratulations guys, 260 are mine (I’m a little behind). I’ll be back in 4 months when it’s 4,000,000.
That’s ironic since I haven’t been downloading for almost a year. Gotta catch up on my comics pile at some point….
way to go gents!
My review is posted as a first page review on itunes, number two I believe. I’d like to think I played a very small part toward this milestone…. I am so alone… I’ll tell my ego to shut-up now.
I we paid like 10 cents for every epidose(and I would) you guys would be doing alright!
Congratulations!
That’s awesome! Congrats to all of you!
I haven’t bought comics in over ten years. The price, the quality… you know the story. But I started listening to y’alls podcast about a year ago because I wanted to keep up. I have enjoyed every episode.
Yesterday I walked into a comic book shop (again, first time in 10 years), spent $50, and proceeded to sit in my truck and read each one. I’m back, baby!
I now officially both love and hate you guys.
Congratz on the success!
Great accomplishment!
congratulations, much deserved, it’s a bit like Icarus really isn’t it, i’m joking of course. here’s to the next 3,000,000 x
Yasher Koach! Can 10 million be far behind? Congrats!
hell yes, great job. I stated listening to your podcast after comic-con last year , and haven’t looked back. Keep up the great job
Keep ’em coming!
