We’re on iTunes!
Alongside the release of the first of our plays from our spring writing project, Walking the Halls, by Toby Frost, today marks the official launch of Little Wonder Radio Plays on iTunes.
You can find us right here:

Read more to find out why this is so important to us, and how you can help.
Why should you care?
Now you might be thinking “hey, I can already listen via RSS, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, YouTube and TuneIn – why do I need iTunes as well.”
Well first of all – thanks for listening. And you keep on listening any way you want!
But iTunes is very important to us. 80% of all podcast traffic goes through iTunes, and its where people go to find things that are new.
New and Noteworthy
Most importantly of all, if we get enough traffic during our first eight weeks (so that by about September 1st) then iTunes may decide to put us on our “New and Noteworthy” page. That’s a HUUUUGE amount of free advertising. It can change this podcast from a small venture into a massive platform for all the creators, sound engineers, actors, writers, directors and crazy people that work so hard to make these plays.
So, if I’ve ever bought you a pint, if you’re in any way involved with us or would like to be in the future, if your related to one of us and don’t hate my guts (or just hate my guts a little but) – hell, if you just like our plays – then there’s two things you can do that will really help.
The First Way to Help: Rate and Review
First: Go to the iTunes page and give us a rate and review. If you’re feeling really energetic, subscribe, then press the little down arrow to share the iTunes page on social media.
The Second Way to Help: Keep listening, get other people to listen
Second: Listen to our plays. If we can get to 1000 listens by September 1st then we stand a chance of getting on the New and Noteworthy page. At which point we will probably start getting 1000 downloads a DAY. Thankfully, we’ve got off to a good start:
(Note: Walking the Halls has only just been released. Trust me, its listens are increasing fast! Get there quick, it might wear out…)
Now you don’t have to listen via iTunes – listen any way you want, we really appreciate it. But between ratings, reviews, subscriptions and plenty of listens you might just help me get some of these wonderfully talented people that work for me to the audiences they deserve (ie. More fantastic people like you.)
Thanks for listening. Now go click some buttons for me! And listen to Toby’s play (it’s funny and sad and kind, which isn’t surprising at all to anyone who knows Toby.)
