If you have publicly distributed your uStudio podcasts over to platforms such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify, you can still track episode listens within our media management Hub to measure success. If you are needing help publicly distributing your uStudio podcasts, visit our website here.
How to View Public Usage in uStudio
Once you're logged into the Hub, click the destination on the left-hand side where you have uploaded your public podcast.
To see the number of "views" or listens for each podcast episode, click the stats icon. This is the third icon at the top with three little vertical bars.
You will then see a graph displaying views for each podcast episode. The key below the graph will define which color line represents which podcast episode. You can also see total listens for the public platform by clicking "Destinations" on the key.
Analytics in Apple Podcasts
If your podcast is indexed on Apple Podcasts, there are analytics available through Apple's Podcasts Connect website.
- Sign in with your Apple ID, and Choose Podcast Analytics.
- From there, you can click on your podcast to view its analytics. Analytics that are available include data on total time listened, time per device, average consumption per episode, devices subscribed, and more.
