Apple Podcasts, which was in second-place final yr, moved as much as #1 spot this yr on the Podnews Report Card, a survey that provides data and sentiment from podcast creators and listeners in regards to the podcast platforms that they use.
Podnews promoted the survey repeatedly to greater than 26,000 subscribers throughout the month of February 2023. The publication requested numerous questions on particular person platforms (you can vote for different platforms too), requesting scores and feedback. The identical questions this yr have been used final yr for some platforms – Ponders added YouTube and Amazon this yr – in order that we might observe progress.
Greater than 135 completely different podcast creators took half this yr, which was greater than final yr. The ultimate “total” class, which asks podcast publishers their “total impression” of those providers, exhibits the success of Apple this yr (scores out of 5):
° Apple Podcasts: 3.6 (up from 3.2)
° Spotify: 3.2 (up from 3.0)
° YouTube: 2.7
° Amazon Music: 2.5
° Google Podcasts: 2.0 (down from 2.6)
