AIBU to miss the AIBU podcast?

I used to really enjoy listening to it, why did it stop?

I never really listened to a podcast. On a fb page I manage someone puts podcases on and my observation is roughly:

It reaches around 3k people.
Around 300 may see the first 3 seconds. That as far as I can tell is roughly when you're scrolling through and it autoplays. Certainly I've been named as someone who has watched 3 seconds when I haven't.
Around 50 watches the first 10 seconds.
About 12 stick to it for a minute.
About 2-5 watch the whole lot (and I can name the 2 that always will).
The average length watched out of around a 10 minute podcast is around 10-12 seconds (after they've taken the 3 seconds or less out)
About 15 people will react to it.
Comments normally are not more than 1-2 and shares are 1 (the person who puts it up).

Is it worth the time and effort for that return?
I don't think so. I suspect MNHQ have come to that conclusion.

Do people tend to listen to podcasts that they randomly come across, or do they listen to one particular one? If it's the latter then if they are having numbers moving down then they either need to jazz it up, or cut it.
What would make you listen to a random podcast rather than scrolling past?

I listened a few times and it was quite amusing but a bit samey which, if you’re an AIBU regular is kind of obvious. There are topics that come up over and over so difficult to keep the content fresh I guess.

You're probably right Sad

I never really got into podcasts, the voices make my skin crawl, it feels like someone talking down my neck but I really enjoyed this one.
