Podcast Reach Estimates (Still) Suck

Podcast reach estimates are WILDLY inaccurate.

And often, they’re not even directionally correct.

There are many sites and databases that will give you an estimated reach of a podcast.

Why do they exist?

Well, because most marketers want to measure every little thing, including the things that really don’t matter.

(Psst… always focus on the relevance oversize)

We took a closer look at a few main databases and found out that the numbers were completely off.

Our assumption was that the numbers will be at least directionally accurate.

But it wasn’t the case.

A tiny podcast showed a higher number than an established show.

Now, how do we know what’s correct?

Simple.

We go directly to the source: the host.

It won’t get more accurate than that.

But for now, unless you ask, you’ll never know the reach of a specific podcast.

Podcast guesting shouldn't be your ONLY marketing activity. There are simply too many things outside your control.

You can get yourself booked on podcasts. Without any podcast booking agency.

Same strategy - Different mindset - Different results

Many B2B brands use a podcast as their core channel. Which makes appearing on other shows MUCH easier.

The right podcast interview cadence is one per week. But are you in control?

How much time does it take to appear on podcasts as a guest? Well, it depends on how well prepared you want to be.
