Today In Music History Hits a Home Run

One of the surprising things in the monthly TPN download stats is the lower than expected number of people listening to Brian Ibbot’s “Today in Music History” podcast. It’s still mightly impressive for a show that’s only been going 5 weeks, but part of me expected it to be even more popular.
