Average Consumption Rate

The average consumption rate measures how much of a podcast episode is listened to on average, expressed as a percentage. This metric provides insights into listener engagement and content effectiveness. A high average consumption rate indicates that listeners are staying engaged throughout the episode, while a low rate may suggest that the content is not holding their attention.

Podcasters use this data to assess the quality and pacing of their content, making adjustments to improve listener retention. Understanding consumption rates can also help in structuring episodes more effectively, ensuring key messages and advertisements are placed at optimal points.
