You can also track if you’re getting more listeners as you publish more episodes. Meanwhile, your follower count indicates the number of people who click the “Follow” button on your podcast. Once someone does that, your podcast is added to their library, and the library updates when you release a new episode.
How do podcasters know how many subscribers they have?
If the podcaster is honest, a podcaster knows their subscriber number by taking the average downloads per episode to represent their subscriber base. Because some listeners aren’t subscribed, this isn’t an accurate measure.

What happens when you add a podcast to your library?
Once someone does that, your podcast is added to their library, and the library updates when you release a new episode.

Why can't I tell how many subscribers a podcast has?
Why can’t you tell how many subscribers a podcast has? Most podcasters have access to some form of data like downloads and location. Three main problems corrupt this data though: a download might not be a listen, location data might not be accurate due to VPNs and ISPs, and the kicker, the downloads might be fake.
Why are podcasts taking average downloads per episode?

Because some listeners aren’t subscribed, and only listen because of the topic or guest, this isn’t an accurate measure. Podcast creators can also combine their numbers from various listening platforms.
Where are podcasts stored?
Like websites, podcasts are stored on a podcast host server like Libsyn, PodBean or SoundCloud. The server generates a feed address podcasters submit to platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Amazon Podcasts, and Pandora. When one of those platforms “requests” the file, the host server logs it as a listen.
What is podcast analytics?
In theory, the tool shows how many devices have listened, the duration, total time listened, and average time consumption per show.
Can podcast listener data be faked?
Podcast listener data can even be faked via the platforms themselves, like Apple Podcasts. Some brands hire foreign entities to inflate their numbers by mass-subscribing. It’s impossible (for now) to verify who uses this strategy, but my research indicates this absolutely works and happens.
Can podcast creators combine their numbers?
Podcast creators can also combine their numbers from various listening platforms. These are getting better. But the truth is this: podcasters are probably lying to you. Many podcasters claim their subscriber number is the total number of downloads over the duration of the podcast.

Check The Podcast's Ratings and Reviews
- The first place many people look when they're trying to size up a podcast is Apple Podcast's ratings and reviews. As the dominant podcast player (especially in the US) it's almost always the place that aggregates the most listener feedback. You could try to guess that a podcast has a large audience by the total number of ratings it has. But this is a somewhat flawed approach be…
Chart Rankings
- Similarly to ratings and reviews, Apple Podcasts is the best place to look for the most comprehensive podcast charts. 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. Apple's charts are not ideal, though. It's thought that they are calculated by looking at the number of ne…

Are they active on Twitter? How many followers do the hosts …

- To find out the most accurate numbers, you need to go to the source. That means contacting the host, owner or publisher. There's no guarantee that they'll get back to you. But it depends on your intent. If you're looking to spend money on sponsoring a show then you may get a quick reply! Watch out for publishers giving you their all-time number of downloads, i.e. the number of times …
