Hello Ouriel, Great to hear your opinion on this new podcast !

Actually there is a tool you can use to track podcast statistics, it’s called Blubrry (https://www.blubrry.com/) and I’m using it since 3 years on my “Trendastic” Podcast. There’s a free option which will provide you some basic figures (#download by episode, consumption sources, platform, client, geography, referrers,…).

You can host your podcast on their server or simply plug your iTunes podcast on their service.

Your second point regarding the lack of feedback can be adressed by having your podcasts available on a website and using it as a place for people to interact with you.

Hope it helps you !
