Amid all the normal excitement lately, I forgot to mention my own bit of excitement: My AmeriNZ Podcast finally made it to the “Featured” page of the Personal Journal podcasts on the New Zealand iTunes Music Store.This means that any Kiwi browsing that page will see my podcast and may, just maybe, investigate a little further. When I took the screenshot above, my podcast was also number 11 among today’s podcasts (it’s been in the top 5 in the past; it's also been far lower). My podcast is in a similar spot on the featured page of USA iTunes Music Store, but it’s seldom in the top 100 podcasts there.
In New Zealand, I have zero reviews, while in America I have twenty-eight 5-star reviews. New Zealand is a much smaller market, obviously, for iTunes generally and podcasts in particular. So, I don’t know what it is that ranks me so highly here—maybe it’s my USA reviews helping, or maybe a lot of local searches for my podcast, I don’t know.
This may not last long (though my place on the American featured page has continued for two months, far longer than I’d ever have guessed). Mainly, I just hope that some more Kiwis stumble across my podcast and give it a listen, because I’d love to have more listeners in New Zealand—and everywhere else, of course.

Congratulations, Aurthur! It's exciting to make it on the iTurds. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Wes. I used to find it really annoying that I was on the Featured page on iTunes USA and not in New Zealand.
