Edison Research is respected as the national authority in podcast statistics. In its press release listing the Top 5 Podcasts for Exclusive Listeners, Edison lauded the rapport between Bible in a Year host Fr. Mike and his audience:
“At the top of the list [of exclusive listener podcast audiences], and the leader by a large margin, is one of the many great stories that podcasting has spawned, a show hosted by Father Mike Schmitz, a Catholic priest from Minnesota. The Bible in a Year publishes every single day, starting on New Year’s Day and winding through the entire bible text and finishing by December 31. Edison Podcast Metrics estimates that an average of 30% of listeners to this show will not listen to any other show each week.”
The best place to list to The Bible in a Year is on the Ascension App, the #1 Catholic Bible App.
