In a month-over-month comparison of Buzzsprout Platform Stats, we observe more active podcasts and fewer monthly downloads.
The difference is lim. Buzzsprout counts 120,382 podcasts for April, and 120,595 for May — a slim rise to be sure.
In that relative stability, we see a meaningful drop in monthly downloads, from April=102.5 million, to May=96.9 million.
New episodes are counted also, and that number rose from 169,904 to 171,557.
Apple Podcasts tops the list of podcast apps delivering the downloads (37.7%), followed by Spotify (31.4%).
Looking back one year, to April 2024, we observe with interest more podcasts being counted (124,527 vs. 120,382) and more downloads (108 million over 102.5 million).
