Ep 101: Why Podcast Stats are Complete BS


Listen Later

In this episode, I dive into the world of podcasting statistics, shedding light on the potential inaccuracies and unreliability of common metrics. Don't solely judge your podcast's success based on numbers like episode count or downloads. Success is more than reaching arbitrary thresholds – it's about creating meaningful content that resonates with your audience!

Remember, podcast ranking metrics can be misleading and vary across platforms. Look beyond the numbers to truly understand your podcast's performance and impact. Keep creating authentic content, and don't get discouraged by the stats!

Highlights:

  • Discussing the misleading and unreliable nature of podcasting statistics and rankings.
  • Exploring different measurements used to determine a podcast's ranking.
  • Challenging the significance of being in the top percentage of podcasts for success.
  • Highlighting the flaws in commonly used podcasting metrics.
  • Questioning the validity of defining podcast success based on episode count or download numbers.
  • The variability of podcast ranking metrics across platforms and criteria.
