Are these numbers global numbers? Where can I get geography specific numbers on podcasting? For eg, the number of podcasts/podcasters in the UK?

Yes, and no. Classically we're talking about 5 to 6 percent where n=366, but the links are correct, sampling bias will be a problem here (and will be fully outlined in the final analysis).

Three areas of bias will be likely:
1. bias by referall sampling
2. bias by language (english)
3. bias by recruitment method

note three methods employed:
1. general advertising
2. direct email (vis "research spam")
3. snowball

Cheers,

Peter

I'm not sure you _could_ have a margin of error, since it's not a random sample of podcasters, and can't be considered statistically representative. Classic example: http://www.studyworksonline.com/cda/content/new_worksheet/0,,EXP545_NAV2-76_SWK543,0...
