In August we saw a big bounce in new episodes, and that’s great news after a slow summer. We were also happy to notice that the completion average for listener retention leaped to nearly 85%, up from 79% last month. Pat yourselves on the back, podcasters! You’re doing great.

Let’s keep that momentum going — and monetize while we’re at it! Throughout September, we’re offering Premium Podcasting on a free trial. Shows with hosting will have access to the addon automatically. Simply head into the Premium Podcasting settings and set up your premium listing!
