About Episode One

Episode One is a comedy podcast in which each episode is presented as the first and only episode of a failed show. The feed, hosted on SoundCloud, lists 500 episodes with a weekly release pattern and main episodes of roughly an hour, with shorter Patreon preview installments released between them. The show's Patreon page, linked in the feed, describes it as a series of failed-podcast premieres.

The show's host or hosts are not named in the dossier, so the feed does not give a personal name to attribute to them. Apple Podcasts lists 841 ratings with an average of 4.8 out of 5, and the show has been listed there since August 2017. Listener demographics are estimates only and are not published by the show; the dossier suggests a predominantly English-speaking, United States audience.

No sponsors were seen in the feed. The estimated audience of 5,000 to 25,000 downloads per episode implies a host-read rate of roughly $90 to $625 per episode, which suits brands seeking comedy-aligned awareness. The show is best suited to brands comfortable with mature humor.
