I'm thrilled to share the news that @jonaswoost and I launched a new company today.
We're a podcast growth agency. And we're called Bumper (@wearebumper).

I've started to see podcast-specific features appear in the main @YouTube iOS app and website, including an "Explore the podcast" section below the video description, and the word "Podcast" on specific playlists.

Same is true for podcasts
In the last 120 days, @myfirstmilpod has gotten 17M views on TikTok and 1,300 downloads (via link in bio)
.01% conversion 🤢

One thing I will say TikTok has been hilariously bad for (so far at least) is driving any newsletter signups.
After 10,000,000 views, SubStack says I've gotten...
*drum roll*
32 subscribers.
I'm not talking about the newsletter in videos at all. But still, comically low.

Recent podcast news has been a bit gloomy, especially a piece saying that new podcasts are down by 80%. But that number isn’t telling you the whole story - in fact, it’s measuring something else entirely. Good news to share.

This time of year, podcasters ask me, "Should we take a holiday break?"
Anecdotally, listening dips around the holidays. But what does the data say? 📊
@wearebumper worked with @Simplecast @Headspace and @AllEarsEnglish to look at podcast consumption trends over the holidays 🧵

You might see this data as rationale to take a short hiatus. That’s fine.
You might also see this as an opportunity to make some noise during an otherwise quiet time of the year. That’s also fine.

If you decide to publish over the holidays, remember:
- It’s a quieter, less crowded time of year
- Your downloads will likely soften a bit
- Actual consumption (plays, streams, starts) will probably be lower, too
What are your plans?
