Apple Podcasts lists a 4.9 average rating from 303 ratings, with nearly all reviews at five stars. Listener numbers are not published, so the estimate of 2,000 to 8,000 downloads per episode is an inference from the rating count, the release cadence and episode length, and should be treated as an estimate. No sponsors appear in the feed or episode titles, and the website promotes its own Catharsis shop.
The show suits creative tool makers, art education providers and book publishers seeking an engaged arts audience. A host-read mid-roll at the estimated audience size would typically cost between $40 and $200 per episode, a range Starbooked computes from the stated estimate rather than from any listed rate card.
