Podchaser's Power Score is a unique measurement of a podcast's influence calculated based on predictors such as the number of listeners per episode, episodes released, subscriber and follower count, social media engagement, and directional change within these metrics. This proprietary score provides insights that help creators and advertisers determine the popularity and interaction rates of a podcast, providing useful information essential for media buying and guest appearance planning.


Key Metrics:

  • Monthly Reach shows the estimated number of unique listens of a podcast's episodes within the last 30 days.

  • Episode Reach shows the estimated number of listeners a new episode is likely to attract within its first 30 days.

How does a Power Score compare to Reach?

Together, Power Score and reach indicators provide a more complete picture of a podcast’s performance. While Power Score provides a general snapshot of a podcast's influence, reach estimates provide accurate listener metrics.
