1,327 culture & arts podcasts publish their own contact, sit outside the national chart and are run by an independent publisher. Those are the ones with a person on the other end, so they are the ones worth your time.
Culture & Arts shows last. Only 19% have gone quiet for more than a year, against 31% across the directory.
Shows that keep publishing tend to be run by practitioners with a business behind them, and those are the ones that still answer an email.
Across this field a show averages 263 episodes, and 41% publish weekly or more often. Attrition is 19%, against 31% across the whole directory. How we measure that.
Ranked by reach: a percentile among the shows you could realistically get on, so 87 means better than 87% of them. Built from chart history, longevity, publishing activity and cadence. All free, published signals, and never a download figure.
Every show above publishes a contact and we hold it. Addresses and drafted pitches are part of a plan. Browsing the directory, the reach data and which shows are bookable stays free. We never send on your behalf and never invent an address.
