This is the first ITSM rest of the world podcast I've listened to and I loved it. You guys rock!

ITunes does not seem to have any of your older podcasts (#1-14) - is that something that you can address/fix?

You do have listeners across the pond - I'm in Canada ... although I guess that is part of "the rest of the world" vs the USA.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear talk about the "Best Service Is no Service" - that has been my favorite customer service book for a while with lots of good insights for IT practioners. I wish more IT people around here would read that book. Very cool!

It really appreciated the 4 books recommendations from Ian - these look great and I will check them out! Thanks!

Thanks. We have any where between 20-30K streams per month across all four podcast. So we have a few listeners not from the countries mentioned. Unfortunately iTunes only host the last 15 shows of most things. All the Rest of the world shows can be found here. http://www.servicesphere.com/blog/category/podcastUK Also we have recently started putting all the global shows on soundcloud for mobile listening.
