“WBUR wouldn’t share statistics about listenership, but in order for a podcast to be sustainable, it typically needs more than 1 million downloads per month, according to Iris Adler, executive director for programming, podcasts, and special projects. Three WBUR staff members worked on the podcast. In comparison, most of the station’s daily radio shows have six to 20 people working on them. The New York Times’ successful daily podcast The Daily has a full-time staff of eight working to produce each episode.”
