Changing times, changing consumption

  • Podsights

    Podsights dives deep into state-by-state data. In New York State, morning listening dipped by half during the pandemic; Iowa, however, is seeing much less impact. “If downloads at 7am drop, and stay down, people are staying at home”, say Podsights, adding that a drop in download numbers is therefore a good thing. (The biggest change? Those safe people in New Jersey.)

  • Libsyn

    Speaking on The Feed, Rob Walch said that there has been a 15% decline in weekly downloads on Libsyn since the pandemic. The week of April 19th was, apparently, the worst; and things are getting better since then. He also said that the median number of episode downloads for Libsyn shows was 125 (so if you’re doing more than 125 downloads per episode, you’re better than 50% of all the shows out there).

  • Peter Wells writes in The Age about how podcast consumption is changing.
