1/2 - Early next year TrueFans will launch our new hosting platform which will stream podcasts to all listening apps. By streaming only what is played and not downloading the whole episode, it means we can measure exactly how long fans listened to your podcast. We can then show you the 'Total Listen Time' for each app in our new analytics dashboard.
