I host my podcast on Podbean, which gives me a download count. Apple Podcasts shows “listeners” and “plays,” neither of which matches Podbean’s number, and Spotify has its own set of numbers.

I always assumed that because the show is hosted on Podbean, its download count would include downloads from all the platforms pulling from the RSS feed. But apparently that’s not the case? Can someone help me understand what each of these numbers actually represents and which one gives the most accurate picture of the show’s total audience?

We told her it was a scam months ago, we showed her all the proof, she swore that she would stop talking to him. Flash forward to a sudden urgency to have 10k and a plane ticket. We just found out that she never stopped talking to the scammer and she's flying to PR to meet "him." We fully expect to receive a ransom call. Is there anything we can legally do to stop this before it happens?
