Our Week In The Web: September 11, 2015

If you follow us on Twitter or Facebook, you might click links when we share them during our live broadcast of the show. But often, guests and listeners alike wonder why we don't share the direct listen live page during those broadcasts, and we thought now was a good time to explain our strategy behind that choice. It's definitely true — when you click a show page during a live broadcast, you have another step to make before you're able to listen live to the show. However, when people click or share those links and tweets or Facebook posts later (since none of us are always online at the same time, of course), they'll have access to the audio of that show then. It's not a perfect system, of course — and our upcoming and constantly-promised website redesign will definitely fix some of these double-clicking issues — but for now, that 'where do I go later?' query is the one we're aiming for, and it (mostly) seems to be working.
