New data! My ranking of top podcast hosting companies based on the 1.9 million new episodes published in September 2026
@james do you mean their August number?
they had a bumper month in August
@js That number looks… wrong. Are you sure about it?
@james yep, confirmed, there's a story there - but not mine to tell
@js It’s public data… but okay.
@james the reason why spreaker published so many episodes in August is not public
let's just say it went back to quasi normal in September
@js OK. Surely everything on the podping data feed is public. But, you keep your secrets if it makes you feel more superior!
@js I - like everyone else, I suspect - just looks at this graph and presumes something has gone wrong, and therefore this data isn’t to be trusted. Some form of explanation is a helpful thing to you - to give people faith in the data as presented.
@js What’s going on with this graph? Did Spreaker really get twice the amount of episodes?
