Estimated, confidence 50%: 931 Apple ratings across a show over five years old suggests 20,000 to 80,000 downloads per band, but the band is shifted down as the show is niche and the rating count reflects accumulation over six years; the estimate uses the 50 to 200 ratings band with a 1000 to 1000 adjustment from the 200 to 1,000 band, weighted by the episode count, weekly cadence, and sports niche.
