Some of you are on my Coworking Weekly newsletter 
<http://coworkingweekly.com>, but I know that many aren't. That's okay, no 
hard feelings. ;) A lot of the articles and essays that I share one that 
list are topics that stem from conversations and questions that start here. 
 

*This week...*I started an experiment that I called The Coworking Weekly 
Show <https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/coworking-weekly/id938871054>, a 
podcast in iTunes (and Stitcher, if that's your jam, you can search for it 
the by the same name). 

There's two episodes live already: the first is a 30 minute interview with 
one of my team members, who many of you know, Adam Teterus. We talked more 
about the topic of "how do you describe coworking" from his point of view, 
of a staff member, and how being a hired staff member comes with a 
different point of view than most of us owner/founders. The second episode 
is much shorter, about 10 minutes, and is just me doing a segment I'm 
calling "Ask Coworking Weekly" where I answer single, specific questions 
that are a bit harder to answer in writing. The first question is something 
that has been asked on this list MANY times...

But I'm not here to just tell you about it, and hope that you listen and 
find it valuable. 

*I'm here to ask for a favor, which I really don't do very often*

I LOVE sharing with this community. And I love connecting with people who 
are doing things like us around the world. A big part of this podcast is me 
wanting to extend that reach a little bit more, and introduce more people 
to coworking and our communities and how it works. I want to make their 
jobs easier when they struggle to get local people to understand coworking. 
I want to help coworking continue to evolve, and grow, in ways that we 
haven't even imagined yet.

Which is why iTunes rankings are important. The #1 way that people find out 
about podcasts is the iTunes directory, and as of a few minutes ago, The 
Coworking Weekly Show is ranking in the top 10 "New and Noteworthy" 
podcasts in the  Business category and in the top 5 for the "New and 
Noteworthy" podcasts in Society and Culture. I'm also in the top 50 "New 
and Noteworthy" across ALL categories. And it's climbing!

iTunes rankings are a bit of a black box, but the things that make a 
difference are: 

* iTunes listens
* iTunes reviews
* iTunes ratings

*If you have a few minutes today or tomorrow, would you consider listening 
on iTunes?*

*And then, if and only if I've EVER shared something valuable with you* - 
on the podcast, here on the Google Group, in a workshop, on my blog, at a 
conference.... leave a review AND a rating on the iTunes listing? iTunes is 
confusing, so if you've never left a review before, here's how 
<http://dangerouslyawesome.com/snaps/itunes-review.gif>. 

You'd help the podcast climb the rankings, and as a result, help me help 
more people understand how what *we all do* fits into their lives :)
