Spotify almost changed podcasting forever—by putting all your episode play counts on full display. Imagine every episode’s stats right out in the open, for the world to judge. But then, they backed off. In this episode of Podtastic Audio, I’m breaking down why that change almost happened, why they reversed course, and what it means for us indie podcasters.
As someone who loves podcasting and does it because it's fun (not just for downloads), I dig into:
- Why public play counts might hurt small shows more than help them
- How podcast value isn’t always reflected in numbers
- The power of private growth and real listener impact
- Why you should keep creating even when the numbers seem small
Whether you’re getting 25 plays or 25,000, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like the metrics don’t tell the whole story—because they don’t. Podcasting should be about connection, not comparison.
👉 Join me as I share my own journey, thoughts on Spotify’s decision, and why your voice matters more than your views.
