Rephonic's podcast pages display a lot of information. This guide will walk you through each of the sections and explain what it all means.
It is recommended that you follow along by navigating to a real podcast page e.g. The Daily.
The top part of the page shows you the podcast's basic information (including its title and publisher) and a few important links. If the system thinks that this show is likely to take guests or conduct interviews it will show Guests or Interviews as the format, like the example below.
Note that you can always click on the podcast's title to open a standalone page that you can link to. Clicking on the name of the publisher (the blue link under the title) will search for other shows by the same publisher.

For most people, the important metrics here are Listeners per Episode and Monthly Listeners.

This prediction is based on hundreds of publicly available data points that we gathered for this podcast. Please contact the publisher for accurate numbers.
Spotify is the number one or number two podcast platform in most countries. The number of Spotify Followers a podcast has is a very good indicator of its popularity and reach.

If a YouTube channel was found for a podcast then a summary will be shown with some helpful stats (e.g. total number of subscribers and views) and quick links to recent videos.
Rephonic tries to match every podcast with social media accounts and other points of online presence around the web. Here's a list of all possible channels that may be displayed here:

Have you ever wondered how much it costs to advertise with a particular podcast? Rephonic displays an estimated range to help you get an idea of what to expect.
This range is our best guess by taking typical CPM (cost per thousand listens) figures for podcast ads and multiplying them by the estimated number of listeners per episode. Note that there may be differences between the costs of pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll ad types. Please contact the publisher to check the real rates.
Finally, see the number of subscribers and followers a podcast has in various apps. Only a few podcast apps reveal these metrics, but they're useful to get a better understanding of the size of a show's audience. Please note: Not every podcast app reveals this data. For example, major apps like Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not.
