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.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our customer support team.

How do mention alerts work?

Choose the names, brands or keywords to track. When a new episode mentions one, you get an email. You can choose hourly, daily or weekly emails.

Which episodes are searched?

Episodes with transcripts. Pod Engine transcribes thousands of new episodes every day, and you can request a transcript for an episode that doesn’t have one.

Can I put a reach number in a coverage report?

Yes. Each show with enough data has an estimated monthly audience, counting audio and YouTube together, with a confidence rating. They are estimates, not measured downloads.

Can I send a client the episode?

Yes. Episodes link to Apple Podcasts and, where Pod Engine has matched it, the YouTube video, so the client gets a link that plays.

Do you analyze sentiment?

Not yet. Each result shows the exact passage that matched, so you can read the context and judge the tone yourself.
