Supported data sources

The Bumper Dashboard can import data from many sources, including:

Podcast consumption services

These are primary sources for podcast consumption data.

While Apple, Spotify, and YouTube do not represent the totality of podcast consumption, research suggests they represent the majority.

Data from Edison Research (PDF) says Apple, Spotify, and YouTube collectively represent the most commonly-used services among 73% of weekly podcast consumers in America. Data from the Canadian Podcast Listener survey (PDF) suggests these three are the most commonly-used services among 78% of monthly podcast listeners in Canada.

Podcast hosting providers

Hosting providers typically supply download-based measurement. Downloads do not measure consumption.

Passthrough analytics providers

Passthrough analytics providers typically supply download-based measurement, and can be a useful "belt and suspenders" data source in addition to hosting provider data.
