![]() Google Podcasts maintain their own charts too, but these are less comprehensive.Ĥ. Here's an example for The Daily (scroll down to "Charts" - if it's missing then that show is not ranking at all). Rephonic collects these Apple and Spotify chart rankings and makes them available for free. ![]() If a show's listeners skew towards another platform, or another country where Apple or Spotify is less dominant, then they won't perform so well in the charts. It's thought that they are calculated by looking at the number of new followers (previously 'subscribers') each podcast has added over a recent time window. If a show is ranking high in its category - or perhaps across all categories - then that's a pretty good indication that they have a sizeable audience. Similarly to ratings and reviews, Apple Podcasts and Spotify are the best places to look for the most comprehensive podcast charts. Here's an example for The Daily (scroll down to "Reviews"). Rephonic collects all of this listener feedback and makes it available for free. The best ones to check are Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Amazon/Audible.ĭo the fans rate it as a quality show, and what are the comments like? Enthusiastic? Excited? Are their superfans raving, or are the comments brief and boring or even non-existent? But this is a somewhat flawed approach because there's not always direct link between the volume of listener feedback and the size of a show's audience.Īlso, to get a full picture of its audience, you'll have to check each of the podcast apps where you can listen to the show. ![]() You could try to guess that a podcast has a large audience by the total number of ratings it has. As the current dominant podcast player (especially in the US) it's almost always the place that aggregates the most listener feedback. Many people try to size up a podcast by checking Apple Podcast's ratings and reviews. Of course, it is a "best guess," so if you're set on knowing the real listener numbers, you'll have to contact the podcast publisher directly. We collect hundreds of publicly available data points for each one of our 2+ million podcasts to come up with our metrics.
