September 2024 Statistics Report

AI-powered tools in podcasting are now used for everything from audio enhancement (e.g., reducing background noise and normalizing levels) to content creation, including script writing and audio production. Blubrry is proud to be one of the first podcast companies to incorporate AI into a podcaster’s planning, production, and promotion processes with its Podcast AI Assistant!

Artificial intelligence allows podcasters to easily improve quality while streamlining the production process. The growth is reflected in the rising number of transcriptions, chapters and funding tags in the podcast space. You don’t have to look too far into the past to compare the numbers and celebrate the growth of these features! Check out the July 2024 and August 2024 stats.
