This is a long and poorly written article to point out that the 2M podcasts on Apple Podcast follow a power law. 26% of podcasts have only produced one episode, 37% have produced 2 or fewer episodes, 44% have produced 3 or fewer episodes.
Then the article fails to do math for a bit. 44% of podcasts producing 3 or fewer episodes means 56% did 4 or more. So 880k have 3 or fewer, 1.12 M have 4 or more. But the article mixes that up:
> 44% of all podcasts have produced three or fewer episodes.
> If a 'real podcast' is a series of at least four episodes, that effectively reduces the total of two million podcasts to 880,000.
- pratio 5y agoThank you for pointing that out and I agree, it is a poorly written article
