# Podcast Data & Statistics — Free Datasets from The Podcast App

# Podcast data, measured monthly

Free, citable datasets built from the same verification pipeline that
keeps dead shows off our recommendation pages. Every number links to a downloadable CSV with
Apple collection IDs, so every claim is independently checkable.

## What we publish

### [Podcast Health Report](https://thepodcastapp.dev/data/podcast-health-report)

How many curated, Apple-verified shows have gone quiet — dormancy and
staleness by genre, updated monthly with a per-show CSV. The clearest finding: professionally
backed categories barely go dormant, hobbyist categories go quiet at many times the rate.

### Apple Charts Turnover Study coming soon

Daily snapshots of Apple's top-podcasts charts across 30 storefronts and 20
genres began in August 2026 — the first free longitudinal chart dataset since Chartable shut down.
Once enough history accumulates, this study will publish chart half-life, turnover rates and
category velocity.

## A recommendation site should show its work

The Podcast App maintains curated recommendation lists in a free podcast player. Keeping those
lists honest requires verifying, every month, that each recommended show still exists and still
publishes — identity pinned to Apple collection IDs, dates taken from Apple's catalog. These
datasets are that verification pipeline, published. If a number here is wrong, our
recommendations are wrong, and we want to know.

Use the data with attribution (CC BY 4.0). Journalists on deadline: each report page has a
cite-ready block and a methodology section written to be quoted.

## Interactive tools built on the same data
