I hope that some of the listeners to the podcast have been intrigued enough by the quick synopsis it gave of Charity and Sylvia's lives to follow up with the more extensive summary presented here in the blog--or even to track down a copy of the book for the full story. I don't often coordinate the blog and podcast quite this closely, but it's often the case that I'll do a run of articles on a theme in preparation for working up a podcast. The blog and podcast are intended to work in tandem, with the blog working on the academic side and the podcast working more on the general public side (even if it doesn't always feel like it). I know that about 200 people follow the podcast (or at least, we average around 200 downloads, though some of those may be bots). It's much harder to know how many people read the blog, without doing a lot of tedious digging through website stats. It's much easier to know how many people talk to me directly about how much they appreciate the blog: relatively few, but greatly appreciated!
