Why track metrics?

Because you need to understand your audience! But, it’s hard to get direct feedback from audience members. You can learn a lot from metrics, like your average number of listeners per episode or which of your episodes have been listened to the most.

​

Metrics are valuable tools which help you:

  • provide empirical evidence of your knowledge mobilization efforts and reach,

  • benchmark current or future performance against your previous episodes, and

  • plan for future content.
