Boost Your Brand!
First-off, we’re a two-person operation, so there’s no business fluff. You’re just talking to a couple of locals. If we sound professional is accidental or AI.
We’ve been at it for almost 2 years. What started on a whim has surprisingly done very well. Lost in Jersey has been fortunate to host stellar guests on our podcast, establishing us as a respected media source delivering quality, engaging content.
Since our launch, we have been on an upward trajectory, now averaging over 1,800 downloads a month. Putting us in the top 15% of podcast benchmarks. (See toggle below) This is astounding, considering it has been achieved with zero funding and as a side-gig.
We are very proud of our success so far. But it’s not just the podcast downloads we’re proud of; we also have growing exposure across all media platforms!
We have grown to a point where we can offer brands a unique niche exposure in New Jersey!

What Does Chat GPT Say About Us!
Question: What are the average podcast downloads?
Podcast download numbers vary significantly depending on the podcast’s niche, audience size, marketing efforts, and longevity. However, here are some averages based on data from sources like Libsyn and Buzzsprout:
General Benchmarks:
- All Podcasts:
- A typical podcast episode gets 28 downloads in the first 7 days, which puts it in the top 50% of all podcasts.
- Top 25% Podcasts:
- Around 75 downloads in the first 7 days.
- Top 10% Podcasts:
- Roughly 400 downloads in the first 7 days.
- Top 1% Podcasts:
- At least 3,000 downloads in the first 7 days.
Established Shows:
If a podcast has been around for a while, its averages may be higher due to an established listener base and word-of-mouth growth.
Niches and Audience:
- Podcasts with a highly targeted niche (e.g., “Lost in Jersey” focusing on New Jersey stories) may have fewer downloads but a more engaged audience. ( even so we are in the top %15 – just say’n)
- Shows with a broad or mainstream appeal (e.g., true crime, comedy) tend to see higher downloads.
Factors Affecting Downloads:
- Consistency: Regular release schedules help build an audience.
- Marketing: Social media, email campaigns, and collaborations drive discovery.
- Guest Influence: Well-known guests can boost episode downloads significantly.
- Longevity: Newer podcasts may take time to build momentum.
