I love the easy way I can create a podcast from my sermon with Proclaim. But, I wish we could get some kind of statistics of how many people listen? Where they are listening? All other platforms I have looked at show at least some basic stats.
- You are right, but it is the only option I can think of.
- Part of me is wondering how we would get stats that are legit/helpful. Since a podcast feed is just an xml file.. I guess we could track how many times that file is downloaded, but who knows what kind of caching each podcast provider does. Same with the audio. I guess we could know each time someone tries to download the audio but that doesn't really correlate with 'listens' as the Podcast app can pre-download podcast episodes automatically. What kind of stats have you seen from other providers?
- They give stats for downloads, that is the only thing you can measure. Where, when, and on what device was the file downloaded.
