Apple Podcast Analytics Will Finally Reveal Data Podcasters Want to Know

September 15, 2017 by paul

At a recent Worldwide Developer’s Conference, Apple talked about podcasting and their new Podcast Analytics feature that should be released later this year.

They shared some interesting facts about podcasting:

  • There are over 400,000 podcasts in iTunes with 1000 being added each week
  • In 2016, they served up to 10 billion episode downloads and streaming plays across iOS, macOS and tvOS, up from 8 billion in 2015
  • They’re on track for 20% growth
  • iOS11 adds support for seasons
