Latest news
- Jan 6: iHeart’s consumer podcast host Spreaker published 13.5% of all new podcast episodes in December, according to Livewire - a record for the company, and an increase in share of 2.7x year-on-year. Its share was just 5% in December 2023, and it’s grown consistently since September. Spotify for Creators also saw an uplift to 24.4%; the #3 podcast host, Buzzsprout, saw a drop to 6.5%. Megaphone has also dropped year-on-year.
- Jan 2: In December, total overall podcast downloads on Buzzsprout were down 14% year-on-year. However, we’d not worry; both Spotify and Apple showed increases in download share; and we covered a few days ago that the total number of podcasts being updated is up 2.5% year-on-year. (And, if you’re getting plays on YouTube, or uploading video to Spotify, those plays never get back to your podcast host anyway.)
- Nov 25, 2024:
Podpage now supports “podroll” lists. A podroll, supported by podcast hosts like Buzzsprout, Blubrry, RSS
.com and Transistor, and by apps like Podcast Guru and Truefans, lets you recommend other shows to your listeners. Now, if it’s in your RSS feed, Podpage automatically creates a page for its pro users. Here’s the page for Ask The Podcast Coach. (Podnews podcast pages also support them). - Nov 19, 2024: These figures were calculated from Podcast Index data in August, using the dates for the first and last episodes in the feed. Some podcast hosting companies delete free accounts when the free trial ends, so they’ll not appear on this data. The top 5 companies with new shows in January this year were Spotify for Creators, RSS, Buzzsprout, Spreaker and Acast: who between them attracted 60% of new shows in that month.
- Nov 7, 2024: Buzzsprout has posted another record download share for Spotify: the app was responsible for 41.5% of all downloads in October. Apple Podcasts is up, however, to 30.4%. Downloads via web browsers almost halved month-on-month.
