Methodology:

The eStat Podcast measurement counts all audio content listened to directly in streaming or downloaded on the majority of listening media (platforms, sites, applications, etc.). The indicators are established using Médiamétrie’s site-centric technology. This technology consists of integrating a tag placed in the download link and having no impact on the user experience. Filtering is carried out every month to exclude abusive downloads. In addition, in order to avoid counting the same podcast twice, downloads occurring within an hour following a first download call are also excluded.
