Compared with what you use now
Instead of replies and comments
Only show what the keenest listeners think, and they are rarely typical.
Everyone who follows the link answers the same statements, in two minutes.
Instead of a social media poll
One question, four options, and a result shaped by whoever the algorithm showed it to.
A dozen statements on one question, and unsure kept apart from split.
Instead of guessing
You plan the next episode around what you think listeners believe.
The report shows where the people who answered agree, where they are divided and what they are unsure about.
How it works
-
Before the episode
Write the question the episode asks. The statements are drafted for you to edit.
-
When it goes out
Put the link in the show notes, a pinned comment or on screen. Leave it open for as long as you like.
-
The next episode
Read out the headline, discuss where listeners split, and share the report.
What you get back
Every statement is sorted into one of four findings, with one way to use each. The report says how many people took part and what the results do not show.

Questions
Can I keep it open for weeks?
Yes. You choose when it closes, within the time your pass or plan covers. Results build up as people answer.
Will people game it?
Each browser has one vote per statement, and a second answer replaces the first. Known bots are turned away. Like any open link, it describes the people who answered, not the public, and the report says so.
I publish articles, not episodes. Is this for me?
It works for a newsletter or column too. If you want a discussion embedded under your articles, see For Publishers.
How is this different from a poll?
A poll answers the question you thought to ask. Here you ask one question, and participants respond to a dozen or so short statements. You see where the people who took part agree, disagree, are unsure, or are split. Then you get the write-up, not a results screen.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. The first time you go live, a verified email gets 14 days with every feature and no card. One trial per email. Another person at the same organisation can start their own. When those days end, an open consultation closes and the report is produced. You can still read and download it afterwards. Paying before then keeps it open.
