90% of Podcasts Don’t Make It Past Episode “3”
A shocking fact for aspiring podcasters: 90% of shows never make it past their third episode. With 2 million podcasts in existence today, this means around 1.8 million quit before they ever get going. What’s more, of those who persist, 90% give up before their 20th episode, leaving only about 20,000 podcasts globally that continue beyond this point. These statistics can seem discouraging, but they also reveal something important—your real competition isn’t the millions of other shows; it’s the small group of creators who keep going.
For podcasters aiming to beat these odds, Podwave Studios offers the support, expertise, and recognition needed to help you stay the course and succeed in the long term.
