YouTube audience

See how many people watch each show on YouTube

Some shows reach most of their audience on YouTube. Pod Engine measures the show’s linked YouTube channel and adds it to the estimate, so you see the whole audience, not just the podcast apps.

Audio-only, Behind the Business looks like a 9K show. It’s 281K.

Checking audio charts alone, you would have skipped it.

Get started YouTube figures appear where a show’s channel is linked.

Sponsors Beta

See who sponsors each show

Pod Engine finds the sponsors in every episode, so you can see who buys ads on a show, and how often, before you plan a campaign.

  • Regular sponsors and one-off ads, episode by episode
  • Check a show is already proven for brands like yours
  • Spot competitors’ podcast campaigns
