Welcome to the Podcast.co platform! We're going to give you a quick overview of the Dashboard and explain what each tab can be used for.

This tab offers a very quick breakdown of some key stats for your podcast:

  • Published Episodes: How many episodes of your podcast are live currently.

  • Monthly Downloads: Based on a 30 day rolling period, this shows all downloads over that period.

  • Unique Monthly Downloads: Based on a 30 day rolling period, this shows all IP addresses that downloaded during that period, cutting out any accidental duplicate downloads.

  • Estimated Subscribers: Our systems estimate at how many subscribers your podcast is likely at based on the average amount of Unique Downloads that happened within the first 24 hours of release from your latest 3 episodes.


Episodes

This tab is where you manage all of your episodes including uploading and editing information. This area is split into 3 parts. These are:

  • Published: Episodes that are live and accessible to your audience.

  • Scheduled: Episodes scheduled to publish at a later date & time.

  • Unlisted: Like a drafts area. Anything in here can only be accessed via the direct link.

To Upload an Episode, simply click and drag your MP3 to this window, or click the orange Upload Episode button and select your file that way.

This tab shows the main statistic for your podcast as a whole. You can adjust the date range you're looking at by clicking the displayed range in the top right, then selecting a preset or a custom start and end date. The graphs here show you the following:
