00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:09.839
Hey podcasters, I'm Megan, and this is Buzzsprout Weekly, giving you ideas, updates, and great lessons to help you keep podcasting.
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:15.759
This week, we're gonna talk about how to read your stats.
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:21.120
You check your podcast stats and notice one platform has a much bigger number than the others.
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:27.760
It's tempting to think that that's where you should put more of your time, but first, it helps to know what's actually being counted.
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:39.039
This week on Buzzcast, the team explains why a view, a play, and a download aren't interchangeable, and why adding them together won't necessarily tell you how many people you're actually reaching.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.039
The conversation also gets into what to look at beyond the totals.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:51.359
Seeing where your listeners stop listening can help you improve an episode, while a thoughtful fan mail message tells you what actually connected with someone.
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:57.520
Listen to this week's Buzzcast to understand what your numbers mean and which ones deserve your attention.
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.920
You can listen to this week's episode of Buzzcast using the link in our show notes.
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.200
Up next, we have our episode of the week.
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.400
My pick this week is from Podcasting Made Simple.
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.599
It's their episode, How to Connect with Podcast Listeners.
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:19.840
In this episode, Alex San Filippo shares his three Rs to help you prepare with intention and make listeners feel like they're a part of the conversation.
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:24.560
This is only a 15-minute listen, so be sure to check it out using the link below.
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.560
Alright, let's talk about what's new at Buzzsprout this week.
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:33.439
Our team has been firing off updates, and we have two new ones for you to check out this week.
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.159
The first is the podcast starter kit.
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.879
Do you have an idea for a new podcast?
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:47.280
Just answer five questions, and the podcast starter kit will give you a title, description, category, and artwork options created just for your show.
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:52.799
You can choose your favorites, and they'll be added to your BudSprout account so you can focus on your first episode.
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.959
To get started, choose I'm a New Podcaster when you sign up for Buzzsprout.

You can now create visual sound bites in the Buzzsprout Mobile app and post them straight to social media.
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:13.759
So you can share a clip from your favorite episode to give new listeners a taste of your show while they scroll.
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:18.159
To get started, just go ahead and download the latest version of the Buzzsprout Mobile app.
