Recent episodes run about 63 minutes at the median, and the show is listed as updated biweekly on Apple Podcasts.
The show holds a 4.7 average rating from 1,218 ratings on Apple Podcasts, which the feed and Apple page support. Its listeners are described on the show's own website as numbering over 10,000 per episode; Starbooked's estimate, based on the ratings count, is 5,000 to 25,000 downloads per episode. The audience is likely older, music-focused, and spread across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Ireland, though these splits are estimates. No sponsors were found in the feed, so the show is best suited to music and travel brands that want to reach a dedicated Celtic audience.
At an estimated 5,000 to 25,000 downloads per episode, a host-read mid-roll ad at $18 to $25 per thousand downloads would cost roughly $90 to $625 per episode. That is a reasonable entry point for small music brands, instrument makers, and event organizers who want a focused, loyal listener base.
