In our third monthly report, we’re starting to see some interesting trends emerge. For instance, the new episode numbers remain strong, yet we’ve seen a slight dip in global listener retention — from 83.45% in the February report to 80.42%. What can that tell us? Can that help you as you continue to strive to keep your podcast compelling?
We also added a new category that lists the top five emerging locations across the globe that, during February, posted 100%-plus increases in podcast numbers.
