Curious about the best days and times to release new episodes? “Most Active Time” pinpoints when your podcast gets the most listens, helping you schedule episodes to maximize reach and impact.

User Retention

Our Podbean backend’s unique user retention data reveals how engaging your podcast content is. The retention graph displays the percentage of listeners who continue tuning in over recent weeks.
