'Stuff You Should Know' Claims It's Hit 1 Billion Download Mark

Billion

The iHEARTPODCAST NETWORK and HOWSTUFFWORKS' "STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW" is staking its claim to having reached the 1 billion podcast download mark.  The show, hosted by JOSH CLARK and CHUCK BRYANT and launched in APRIL 2008 and has posted over 1,000 episodes, averaging 30 million downloads per month; in response to ALL ACCESS' request for the source of the numbers, the company cited PODTRAC tracking numbers.

"’STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW’ was born out of a curiosity that CHUCK and I both have about everything,” said CLARK. "We aren't experts on any of the topics we discuss on the show, we just happen to be good at talking together about what we've dug up and I think that makes the podcast accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Reaching one billion downloads has really validated what we've built over the past 10 years and it makes us excited about the next 10 too. It's an amazing milestone for us and we're grateful to all the listeners around the world who helped grow that number."
 
“In the last decade, podcasting has exploded into the mainstream, now producing some of highest-quality content in the world,” said iHEARTPODCAST NETWORK President CONAL BYRNE. “And one of the best parts about this medium is its listeners. The relationship between podcast creators and their audiences is like nothing else: intimate, authentic, passionate. These are the fans behind every one of these billion downloads. We are thrilled to be the first to reach this milestone, and we look forward to the next one billion.”
