Episodes & Performance

The Episodes page lets you see how each individual episode is performing, so you can learn what resonates with your audience.

Episode download curves

At the top of the page, a chart shows cumulative downloads for your 5 most recent episodes during their first 30 tracked days. Each episode gets a color-coded line (blue, green, orange, purple, red) so you can quickly compare how recent episodes are performing relative to each other. An interactive legend below the chart shows episode titles.

Episodes table

Below the download curves, the main episodes view shows all your episodes in a searchable, sortable table.

Searching and filtering

• Search — type an episode title to quickly find it
• Date range — filter episodes by publish date: All time, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days, or This year
• Sort — sort episodes by: Newest first, Oldest first, Most downloads, or Fewest downloads

When filters are active, a count of matching episodes is shown along with a "Clear filters" button.

What the table shows

Each row in the table shows an episode with its number (#), title, published date, and total download count. Click any episode to see its detailed performance page.

The table shows 20 episodes per page with page navigation controls.

Episode detail page

When you click into a specific episode, you get a detailed view of how that episode has performed.

Summary cards

At the top of the episode detail page, you'll see 6 summary cards with key metrics for the episode:

• Total Downloads — all-time download count for this episode
• Peak Day Downloads — the highest number of downloads in a single day
• Episode Number — the episode's number in your feed
• Downloads First 7 Days — total downloads during the first 7 tracked days
• Downloads First 30 Days — total downloads during the first 30 tracked days
• Downloads First 90 Days — total downloads during the first 90 tracked days

First 30 days performance

The "First 30 Days" chart shows your episode's cumulative downloads during its first 30 tracked days as an area chart. The x-axis shows "Day 1", "Day 2", etc. and the y-axis shows the cumulative download total. This is the most important window for understanding how an episode performed, because most podcast downloads happen in the first few weeks.

Look for:

• Day 1 spike — the initial burst of downloads from your most engaged listeners
• Curve shape — a steep dropoff is normal; a longer tail means the episode has staying power
• Total accumulation — how downloads stack up over the 30-day window

Lifetime downloads

The "Lifetime Downloads" section shows a bar chart of daily download activity across the episode's entire lifetime, with one bar per day from publish date to yesterday. Hover over a bar to see the date and download count for that day. This gives you the big-picture view of how an episode has performed over its entire life.
