The data in Insights is a consolidation of all of your show's listens across all platforms. Insights gives you powerful tools to filter and export this data, so you can understand more about your listenership.

Summary

  • Overview: Overview helps you identify overall listening data across your whole show.

  • Performance: See how specific episodes perform when stacked against each other over various time-frames.

  • Listener: View the number of unique listeners reached during the last 1-7 days.

  • Podcast Players: Understand where your followers are listening to your show.

  • Location: Use the map to see where your listeners are based.

  • Audience: See when your audience is subscribing, unsubscribing, and which shows you share a common audience with from this tab.
