Estimated, confidence 45%: Apple ratings count of 406 places the show in the 200 to 1,000 band (5,000 to 25,000), but the show is under two years old and listed since 2017 with slow accumulation, so it is adjusted down, and the 100-plus episode count with no visible sponsors suggests a modest independent audience.
