If a show is ranking high in its category - or perhaps across all categories - then that's a pretty good indication that they have a sizeable audience. Similarly to ratings and reviews, Apple Podcasts and Spotify are the best places to look for the most comprehensive podcast charts. Here's an example for The Daily (scroll down to 'Reviews'). Rephonic collects all of this listener feedback and makes it available for free. The best ones to check are Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Amazon/Audible.ĭo the fans rate it as a quality show, and what are the comments like? Enthusiastic? Excited? Are their superfans raving, or are the comments brief and boring or even non-existent? But this is a somewhat flawed approach because there's not always direct link between the volume of listener feedback and audience size.Īlso, to get a full picture of its audience, you'll have to check each of the podcast apps where you can listen to the show. You could try to guess that a podcast has a large audience by the total number of ratings it has. As one of the dominant podcast players (especially in the US), it's almost always the place that aggregates the most listener feedback.

Many people try to size up a podcast by checking Apple Podcast's ratings and reviews. Of course, it is a 'best guess,' so if you're set on knowing the actual listener numbers, you'll have to contact the podcast publisher directly.
