Podcast FAQ's

What is average consumption rate?

The average consumption rate of your show is a percentage value of the average consumption (or playtime) that your audience has listened to an episode.

What is an RSS feed?

Your RSS feed is a unique URL for your podcast that stores all of the data about your show. Podcasters use RSS feeds to send their podcast information to listening apps like Apple, Spotify, Google, etc.

What is the difference between a download and a unique listener?

A download is a play of your episode for 60 seconds or more.

A unique listener is the number of individual devices (iPhone, computer, etc.) that have played your show.

For example, if I played your episode three times, it would be counted as three downloads but only one unique listener. Therefore, the number of unique listeners is the most accurate reflection of your podcast’s audience size.

What is the difference between a podcast hosting platform and a prefix?

Podcast hosting: A service that stores and delivers your show to listening platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more. To do so, a hosting platform generates an RSS feed (unique URL for your podcast), which you submit to the listening platforms for approval. Once approved, you’re all set to schedule and publish new podcast episodes as you see fit.

Prefix: A URL prepend is added to the enclosure URL in the RSS feed to collect data on who is listening. Prefixes are commonly used by supplementary analytics providers for hosting platforms. Users may sign up for software that offers a prefix in order to get more in-depth analytics around their podcast.
