It's part two of our dive into the Podcaster Cares Survey data. This time around, we're talking NFTs, measuring success, social media, loudness, and bitrates.

We also take a look at some interesting differences between podcasters of five years or more, and folks who've been doing it less than five years.

Podcasters of 5 years or more have stronger opinions on Apple Podcasts and RSS Feeds

67.5% of the 5 years or more group agreed that a podcast isn’t really a podcast if it doesn’t have an RSS feed.
Of the folks in podcasting for fewer than five years, 39.8% agreed, whilst 38.9% didn’t care.
25.3% in the 5 years or more group didn’t care about RSS feeds.
44.6% of the 5 years or more group believe that Apple could and should be doing more to help podcasters. This is compared to 34.9% of the newer podcasters group.
53% of the newer podcasters have no real opinion on Apple either way, compared to 34.9% of the 5 years or more group.
