This is some pretty fantastic reporting.
These are only Spotify podcast numbers and Joe Rogan is exclusive to Spotify so it’s going to look massive next to all other podcasts that have been available on every RSS catcher for decades. TAL may only have 800k subscribers on Spotify but has millions across other platforms
