Your show
Radar
Radar is your show's home page: Iris reads your latest podcast numbers and writes up the findings worth your attention, so you know what to look at today.
What this page is for
Radar is where you land when you open a show, and it's the page to check first. Instead of hunting through charts for a story, you get a short list of findings Iris has already pulled out of your data — what changed, and why it matters.
It's called What's on your radar? because that's the question it answers. Not "here are all your numbers" — "here's what you should look at today."
Your numbers at the top
The four headline metrics sit across the top — Listeners, Listening hours, Plays, and Followers — each with its change since last month. This is your quick sanity check before reading anything else.
The Insights Feed
Below that is the feed: a stack of cards, grouped by theme. Each card is one finding, and every card has the same anatomy:
- A title — the finding in a sentence.
- The detail — the supporting evidence, with the actual numbers.
- Why it matters — the part that's easy to skip and shouldn't be. This is where Iris says what the number means for your show.
- A headline number — the one figure behind the card, called out so you can see it at a glance.
Iris writes these from your live data — your episodes, retention curves, reviews, chart positions, and tracked keywords — not from generic podcast advice.
What to do with a card
- Thumbs up / thumbs down — tells us whether the finding was useful. This genuinely shapes what you get shown next, so use it.
- Dig into this — opens the chat with the card's topic already loaded, so you can go from "that's interesting" to "show me more" in one click.
- Suggested questions — each card proposes follow-ups. Click one to ask it.
The refresh cycle
Radar refreshes itself. If your insights are missing or more than about 18 hours old, the page regenerates them automatically — you'll see "Refreshing your radar" while Iris gathers your latest data and thinks it through. This usually takes under a minute, and each section of the feed turns from thinking to done as it finishes.
You don't need to do anything. Come back in a moment and the feed will be current.
A note on timing
Radar can only work with data the platforms have reported. If your newest episode doesn't show up in a finding yet, it's usually because Apple, Spotify, or YouTube haven't published those numbers — not because something is broken.
If the feed is empty
A show that hasn't finished connecting its data won't have findings yet — there's nothing to read. Once your analytics arrive, Radar fills in.
If your data is connected and the feed still says "No signals on your radar yet", try again in a few hours. If it persists, email support@podanalyst.com.
