- Nov 10: In case you missed it - here’s how to get the most out of your OP3 download data. The free service lets you download detailed stats for further analysis.
- Nov 7: We use OP3 for podcast analytics - and so should you. But OP3 lets you download full analytics, so you can do all kinds of things with the data. For the Podnews Weekly Review, Apple Podcasts is the #1 app in Japan (and pretty much the only one). A typical Apple Podcasts listener downloads five episodes - but a typical Fountain user doesn’t even download two. People in California download the show almost twelve hours after we publish it. And that one person downloaded every episode of our show six times.
- Oct 27: OP3’s John Spurlock has noticed an increasing number of automated bots downloading shows, which he’s removing from the OP3 stats.
- Sep 17: Another random use for OP3 - spotting how quickly users switch to iOS 26.
- Aug 25: Adam and Dave also welcome John Spurlock as guest. We learn that OP3 is now more resilient; and that he’s working on an app with some special secret sauce.
