How is Adam Curry's Podshow doing on Sirius ratings-wise?

I'm curious now that I'm testing sattelite radio through the Sirius 3-day trial - how popular is Adam Curry's Podshow, in terms of ratings and listenership in the Sirius library?  With popular music and talk being the dominant formats out of the 120 channels offered (not to mention Howard Stern's eagerly-anticipated arrival), I hope our fearless podcast leader is advancing the charge, exhibiting the huge collection of podsafe tunes he's got, and not getting swallowed by the demand for well-known stuff. 

As far as finding his program, he had a run on the Sirius homepage, but I had to go through Google to find a URL to his show.  Does anyone have any idea how indie music is weathering the storm amidst all the popular stuff?

I bought a Sirius radio just to listen to Adam and I've gotta say, I'm disappointed. Adam is very rarely on the show. It's mostly clips from other podcasts. I find the format to be incredibly boring. And I'm an Adam fan. I doubt the ratings are very high.

The people on the unofficial Sirius forum (http://www.siriusbackstage.com/forum/) hate the show.

Hi Scoble,

Interesting...were you expecting it to be the Daily Source Code over satRadio? Or is the fact that it's indie music and a big clip show that turns you off?

I remember when Podshow first launched, Adam said on DSC that it's intentionally more music and less him.
