Apple has announced it will be adding new follower metrics to the Apple Podcasts Connect dashboard in April, allowing podcast creators to view followers per show and measure followers across shows, as well as showing the number of new followers netted over the last week, month, 60 days, and all time.
Announced in a post to the Apple Podcasts for Creators webpage, Apple is also adding the ability for creators can customize their subscription banners by adding customized promotional messages to channels and shows, plus accepts MP3 files for subscriber audio.
Apple says all creators will be able to view metrics for followers beginning next month.
“From the Analytics tab, creators will be able to view followers per show and easily measure followers across shows. Once selecting a show, they can quickly view the number of New Followers netted over the last week, month, 60 days, and all time. They can also see Time Listened as a precent of those following and not following the show. By navigating to the Trends menu, creators can view a graph of followers over time and the number of followers gained or lost on a specific day or during a specified range.”
