Add Blubrry Stats on Any Hosting Platform

Updated

Blubrry Podcast Statistics work with nearly every podcast hosting platform and feed generator. To enable analytics, you add your unique Blubrry stats tracking prefix (also called a statistics redirect URL) to your show’s settings. This guide explains how to do that on popular platforms and what to ask if your host isn’t listed.

Your unique prefix:
https://media.blubrry.com/your_podcast/
Replace your_podcast with your actual show slug, found in your Blubrry Podcaster Dashboard.

Spotify for Podcasters (formerly Anchor)

Spotify for Podcasters does not currently support third-party prefixes. You may contact their support team to request help, but Blubrry cannot add it for you. As a workaround, you can use Podcast Mirror with the Blubrry prefix and resubmit your Podcast Mirror feed to directories.

Other hosts: Podbean, ART19, BuzzSprout, etc.

If your host provides prefix support, contact their support team and request that they add your Blubrry prefix. Here’s an example request you can send:

Hi,

I use Blubrry Podcasting to measure my podcast statistics.
Please add this prefix to all enclosure tags in my RSS feed:

https://media.blubrry.com/your_podcast/

It should work like a Podtrac prefix, so enclosure URLs appear as:

https://media.blubrry.com/your_podcast/example.com/path/to/file.mp3
