It cites industry averages of about 124 downloads per episode in the first 30 days and notes that around 150 downloads per episode is doing pretty well, while anything above that is above average. It recommends looking at where listeners come from, what episodes are most downloaded, and consumption rate, including the typical average where listeners complete about 80% of an episode. It also advises reviewing platform-specific data by using tools like Descript with Pro or higher tiers and uploading directly to YouTube, Apple, and Spotify for more detailed insights.
