If you’ve been obsessing over your podcast download numbers (or lack thereof?) this episode is for you. I’m back with Tom Rossi, co-founder of Buzzsprout, and we’re diving deep into how we should really be measuring podcast success. Spoiler: it’s not just about downloads.

Tom shares why the industry’s hyper-focus on numbers can steal the joy of podcasting and the mental shift that will completely change how you measure your podcast’s success. He also drops some key stats (ever wonder how many downloads it *actually* takes to be in the top 10% of podcasts?) and reveals the one key question to ask yourself to see the true impact your podcast is making, no matter how many downloads you’re currently getting.

If you’ve ever felt like quitting because your numbers aren’t where you want them to be, hit play and let’s dive in.

0:48 - Why Video Isn’t the Lead Actor in Podcasting

1:36 - Why Downloads Don't Tell the Whole Story

3:31 - The Most Powerful Way to Stay Motivated in Podcasting

6:25 - The Real Stats Behind Today's Top-Performing Podcasts

10:13 - The One Question to Ask Before You Quit Podcasting
