Breaking down the Apple email in early February, where you should look for your Spotify stats, Castro’s new promoted podcasts feature! What are good download numbers after you launch? What does being at the top of the Apple Podcasts really mean? listens vs downloads, a really bad one star review, chatting about the IAB Privacy and Compliance Unit and of course stats! It’s mean and median number time!

Audience feedback drives the show. We’d love for you to email us and keep the conversation going! Email thefeed@libsyn.com or call 412–573–1934. We’d love to hear from you!
