36. Did Your Download Numbers Just Tank? Here's Why. [RE AIR]
We're re-airing one of most popular episodes of the Podcircle Podcast this week. If you've notice a big change in your download numbers, tune in — it may not actually mean a drop in listenership!
Did your download numbers drop late last year? We discuss the recent iOS 17 update, its impact on your podcast downloads and why this shift isn't necessarily a sign that your podcast audience is declining — we'll explain everything! We also emphasize the importance of looking beyond download numbers alone to properly gauge a show's success. Join us!
Mentioned in this episode: Episode 9. Are You "Winning" With Your Podcast?
