Billions of downloads in one quarter. Have I mentioned how adorable you are?
How many people lie on surveys?How many people mindlessly download podcasts that they have no intention of listening to
I have not idea. Do you?Either way- which source do you think businesses are using to decide which podcasts to put their ads in
Uh, I didn't realize that there was a specific time span we were talking about? The list with Bongino at #7 is for the last month, so that would explain the disparity between your list and the other. Even if we are talking 1-3 months, then we are still talking millions of downloads. Which still tells you far more than 5000 people. Math is hard!Billions of downloads in one quarter. Have I mentioned how adorable you are?
Back to this strawman, again. I never said or even insinuated that they were lying. My point is that download data for millions of podcast accounts tells you a lot more than the words of 5K people.
The podcast hosts have data on how many subscribers and downloads they have and they use that to negotiate ad pricing. I imagine that there is data for purchase from the sponsor end as well, although I don't know how they go about finding it.
Believe me when I say that this is not the least bit surprising.
None of that makes sense.
Downloads only tells you how many downloads. I don’t know exactly what information was taken in the survey or how accurately it represents actual consumption. Should I be like you and just assume it’s flawed?
Juicing Bongino for political reason?As for you questioning the download data, I don't see why whoever made that list would juice Bongino's numbers for political reasons while also have several NPR podcasts in the top 25
Bongino himself is clearly in it for the money, honey. You are so adorable!
My bad, I didn't read the fine print under the title in your graphic that said it was a 3 month period
Is that really the best gotcha you have? Either way it changes nothing about what I said. The top podcasts have millions of subscribers/downloads/listens on a monthly basis, and in some cases weekly.Many people listen to podcast episodes without downloading them and/or being subscribers. That would be my best guess. They are tracing it to a specific IP/device. If you read the fine print I'm pretty sure they lay it out for you. Go ahead- doesn't really change my point above.
Yes, this would make sense. The list with Bongino is Cumulus. I don't know the various providers or aggregators and who they cater to.
People tend not to download episodes that they have no intention of listening to because it clogs up your playlist. At the very least, someone has to be interested enough to actually subscribe or at least download an episode, which gives you an idea of the popularity.
Uh, again- where did I say it was flawed?I don’t know exactly what information was taken in the survey or how accurately it represents actual consumption. Should I be like you and just assume it’s flawed?
I've cleared this up several times now. Your reading comprehension really needs work. What I've said, for the 3rd or 4th time, is that 5000 interviewees is a drop in the bucket compared to how many people listen to podcasts, and with the latter we have actual download numbers. That's like saying that the election results (downloads) are flawed because they don't match the polls (survey of 5000) UH, no. That was based on your comment not mine. You made this comment:Juicing Bongino for political reason?
Right, just like book sales always reflect books read and it’s not possible to artificially inflate sales.
Well, I admire your very active imagination.
Youre getting desperate. Most people download episodes becusss they plan to listen to them. It’s not a perfect metric, but if you compare download numbers between podcasts it gives you a pretty good idea of where they rank relative to each other.Right, just like book sales always reflect books read and it’s not possible to artificially inflate sales.
You are the one saying the numbers are being juiced, not me. If that’s what you are saying, would an organization of the Bongino fan ilk also be an NPR fanWell, I admire your very active imagination.
LOL Schex and GrossDad are juicing Bongodingo's numbers by listening to that drivel regiously.As for you questioning the download data, I don't see why whoever made that list would juice Bongino's numbers for political reasons while also have several NPR podcasts in the top 25
Right, just like people buy book because they plan to read them and it’s not possible to artificially inflate book sales. It’s also impossible to artificially inflate downloads, isn’t it?
I said there’s an incentive ($$). You’re imagination made up the rest.
So you agree with me that Bongo is high on the list because people listen to it?
Thanks for proving my point 
Which could be true about any podcast on any list. What’s so unique about Bongino where tons of people choose to download his show but supposedly never listen, according to you?
And they are doing this how? Proof
Yet you are saying above that the numbers are being artificially inflated. Which is it
He's not high on the list.So you agree with me that Bongo is high on the list because people listen to it?
#7 in downloads for the month of August is not high
I wasn’t singling out Bongino. In fact, I can easily see how he’d be very popular with MAGA morons. He’s obviously ca$hing in on their ignorance and thirst for confirmation bias.Which could be true about any podcast on any list. What’s so unique about Bongino where tons of people choose to download his show but supposedly never listen, according to you?
And they are doing this how? Proof
. . . . And I'm still yet to hear an actual mechanism for how those numbers are inflated.
Bongo is #7 on a chart where Joe Rogan is not even on.#7 in downloads for the month of August is not high
UH, maybe because Spotify isn't one of the networks that is counted in these ratingsBongo is #7 on a chart where Joe Rogan is not even on.
A parallel universe chart that has NPR as the #1 podcast.
The Daily is consistently in top 3 podcasts and its not a Spotify exclusive.UH, maybe because Spotify isn't one of the networks that is counted in these ratings
Google is your friend:
"The report also includes rankers of the top 20 sales networks and podcasts for the year, including networks and shows opting into TRITON's measurement (which leaves out networks like iHEARTMEDIA, SPOTIFY, and PODCASTONE and shows like "THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE")."

UH, isn't that the point? Spotify exclusives aren't counted, hence no JRE, presumably because Spotify doesn't want to share the data with them.
Probably because the platforms that aren't included make up a significant percentage of podcasts.
