I'm thrilled to share the news that @jonaswoost and I launched a new company today.

We're a podcast growth agency. And we're called Bumper (@wearebumper).

@byMichaelCook @matt @wearebumper Depends on the listening platform. The @ApplePodcasts app has significant market share, and automatic downloads are the default: https://t.co/R48QtjHGCM

I've started to see podcast-specific features appear in the main @YouTube iOS app and website, including an "Explore the podcast" section below the video description, and the word "Podcast" on specific playlists.

The listener app mix for the new Thundercast podcast https://t.co/whjOq8M9ZA is so wholesome

@PodKatt @PodCampToronto Not an exhaustive list, but I'm thinking ad-supported, direct patronage, premium/gated/subscription, branded, grant-funded, etc. — probably lots more. Looking forward to it!

Recent podcast news has been a bit gloomy, especially a piece saying that new podcasts are down by 80%. But that number isn’t telling you the whole story - in fact, it’s measuring something else entirely. Good news to share.

[Race, Health & Happiness Podcast @racehealthhappy]

Spread the word! As of now we are at 19,984 downloads since RHH was first published in Feb 2020!!!! We will only need 16 more downloads in the next 3.5 days to reach 20,000 downloads before the end of the year. We can do it! 🤗🥳💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 @drkarlkabasele @OnyeActiveMD

@Podnews I’d recognize the top of @CANADALAND’s artwork nearly anywhere

[Dan Misener @misener]

If you decide to publish over the holidays, remember:

- It’s a quieter, less crowded time of year
- Your downloads will likely soften a bit
- Actual consumption (plays, streams, starts) will probably be lower, too

What are your plans?

[Dan Misener @misener]

This time of year, podcasters ask me, "Should we take a holiday break?"

Anecdotally, listening dips around the holidays. But what does the data say? 📊

@wearebumper worked with @Simplecast @Headspace and @AllEarsEnglish to look at podcast consumption trends over the holidays 🧵

[Dan Misener @misener]

You might see this data as rationale to take a short hiatus. That’s fine.

You might also see this as an opportunity to make some noise during an otherwise quiet time of the year. That’s also fine.
