Previously, it showed a long list of new users as well as the currently online users. It’s great to see who’s new, but we realized it would be a lot more useful to see the people behind some of the podcasts on CastRoller. So, in going with the latest few changes to CastRoller, we’re adding yet another reason to claim your podcast on CastRoller, the new page lists users who have claimed their podcast on CastRoller.

Podcasters List

This new view makes it easy to see CastRoller users who also have podcasts on the site. You can refresh the page to see a new random set of podcasters. If you are interested in seeing the new users, they are still at http://castroller.com/people/new.

Well we’re proud to announce that the feature has just launched.

Podcast Stats

If you claim your podcast, you can now click on the “Publisher Tools tab to get an overview for the Page Views and Downloads that your podcast has seen on CastRoller. There is also a column for plays, but that is not yet being populated, we hope to fill this soon.

Also, if you click the “Feeds” tab, you can now see how often CastRoller is checking your podcast’s feed. If you see something funny, please contact us to let us know.

We hope you enjoy the new feature and that it brings you new knowledge about how your show is being seen on CastRoller.
