The podcasting landscape is increasingly competitive, making it essential for podcasters to understand the metrics that contribute to long-term success.
One valuable resource in this regard is the "Actively Established Podcast Report" by Alex Sanfilippo. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the report's key findings and methodologies, offering insights that are particularly beneficial for those involved in interview-based podcasting.
The report defines an "actively established" podcaster as one who hosts an interview-based show and has consistently released more than 100 episodes, typically over a period of at least two years. The 100-episode threshold is not arbitrary; the report indicates that podcasters generally begin to experience meaningful audience engagement and influence after reaching this milestone. Therefore, the 100-episode mark serves as a critical benchmark for those aiming to grow their influence and achieve sustained success in the podcasting arena.
One of the distinguishing features of this report is its commitment to data currency. The report is updated monthly, based on specific date-range criteria, to assess the number of podcasts that have either succeeded or failed during that period. Additionally, historical averages are incorporated into the data to provide a more comprehensive view. The report maintains consistency by adhering to the "Actively Established" standard throughout its analyses. Read More
