“What are the Latest Podcasting Stats?” Podcasting Q&A [176]

Podcast Coaching for Kingdom Entrepreneurs: Faith Based Podcasting Tips and Podcast Launch and Growth Strategies

The podcasting world can feel overwhelming. With nearly 3 million podcasts out there, how do you make your mark? According to Alex Sanfillipo’s survey in Podcasting Made Simple, the truth is far more approachable: only about 300,000 podcasts are active, and just 34,000 are considered established. If your goal is to consistently produce 100 episodes, you’ll find yourself competing in a much smaller arena—one where strategy makes all the difference.

Podcasting isn’t just a buzzword anymore, it’s a commitment. Most podcasters quit before reaching 100 episodes because success takes time—an average of two years—and requires a clear plan to get there.

Without a strategy, it’s easy to lose focus and momentum. But when you approach podcasting with intention, everything changes.

• Success isn’t about the numbers; it’s about serving the audience you’re meant to reach.
• The right strategy focuses on building a meaningful connection with your listeners while continually improving your craft.

Don’t let the big numbers scare you. Those top-tier podcasts you admire didn’t start with perfection—they started with consistency, commitment, and a plan. If you’re ready to break into that top 5% of podcasters who see success, focus on strategy, adapt to trends, and stay the course.
