Meet your new analytics
Review downloads, explore your audience, compare episodes, and export reports from your show’s Analytics page
Analytics brings your show’s downloads, audience details, episode results, and YouTube reporting into one place. Open your show and choose Analytics in the sidebar. The page starts with Overview, with separate tabs for Trends, Episodes, Performance, and YouTube when you want to look more closely.
Start with a question you want to answer. You might be checking a recent release, comparing episodes, or looking at where your audience comes from. Choose the dates first so the numbers you review describe the same period for your selected show.
Start with the Overview
The period controls offer Last 24 Hours, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, All-Time, and Custom Range. The recent download totals include a comparison with the previous period, so you can see both the count and the change.
Below them, Downloads, Unique Listeners, and Views appear separately. Downloads count qualifying sessions. Unique Listeners counts distinct address and player combinations within the selected period. It is a measurement of activity, not a count of identified people.
Returning Listeners and Median 30-Day Downloads provide additional context when the required history is available. If a measure says Not Recorded Yet, that is different from a recorded value of zero.
Explore Your Audience
Further down in Overview, Top Countries and Top Cities show where activity comes from. Locations are approximate. Small city groups may be combined under Other Locations, rather than displayed individually.
Apps shows the players your audience uses, with a separate breakdown of device types. These details can help you decide where to check your show’s presentation or which listening instructions to include when sharing an episode.
Open Methodology for the definitions behind the figures. It explains how downloads and listeners are counted, which periods have recorded history, and how the reporting dates work.
Follow Changes over Time
Choose Trends to see activity across your selected dates. Switch between Downloads and Unique Listeners, then use the episode selections beneath the chart to investigate individual releases. All Episodes returns you to the combined view.
A busy day can include activity from several episodes. Check the episodes behind a rise before assuming it came from your latest release. Older episodes can continue contributing to the total.
Use Custom Range when you want to examine a particular launch or compare the dates around a promotion. Keep the range visible as you move between views so you do not compare figures from different periods.
Compare Individual Episodes
The Episodes tab lists releases with downloads in the selected range. Search by title, sort by publication date or downloads, and open an episode row for more detail.
Performance offers a different comparison: activity by days since release. Choose the metric, episode group, comparison period, and benchmark, then select up to five episodes for the chart. This helps you compare releases at a similar age instead of putting an older episode’s total beside a new one.
Check YouTube and Export Reports
For a connected channel, YouTube separates long-form videos from Shorts. Its reporting includes views, watch time, average view duration, and engagement. Keep these figures separate from podcast downloads because they describe different activity.
Choose Export to download a CSV for a spreadsheet or team discussion. The report options include Downloads by day, Episode totals, and Episode performance. Set the dates and episode selection for the report you need.
The export window labels dates in UTC. Downloads and episode totals include recorded activity through the last completed hour; performance reports leave unrecorded periods blank. Keep those limits with your report when sharing it, and return to the same dates in Analytics if you need to investigate a figure.
