I created a quick data visualization of forum participation for each episode of Pseudopod which you can see at this link:

The left y axis represents the number of comments (replies) in its respective Episode Comments thread. The right y-axis represents the corresponding number of views of each episode's thread.
You can see the values for individual episodes by mousing over the graph. In the screen capture below, for example, you can see that the forum thread for episode 186
