Send a question for 'Ask Megan'

You check your podcast stats and notice one platform has a much bigger number than the others.

It’s tempting to think that’s where you should put more of your time. But first, it helps to know what’s being counted.

This week on Buzzcast, the team explains why a view, a play, and a download aren’t interchangeable, and why adding them together won’t necessarily tell you how many people you’re reaching.

The conversation also gets into what to look at beyond the totals. Seeing where listeners stop listening can help you improve an episode, while a thoughtful Fan Mail message tells you what actually connected with someone.

Listen to this week’s Buzzcast to understand what your numbers mean and which ones deserve your attention.
