Estimated, confidence 45%: Apple Podcasts shows 272 ratings, which points to the 200 to 1,000 ratings band (5,000 to 25,000 downloads), but the show is over 20 years old with 15 feed episodes and an independent, low-sponsor profile, so the estimate is adjusted down substantially.

About The Digital Story Photography Podcast

The Digital Story Photography Podcast is hosted by photographer and author Derrick Story and covers digital photography, camera reviews, editing software, and creative inspiration. According to the show's website, it has published weekly episodes since 2005, and the current feed lists 15 episodes with a median length of about 33 minutes.

Apple Podcasts lists the show with a 4.7 average rating from 272 ratings. Based on those signals, the audience is estimated at roughly 500 to 3,000 downloads per episode, with the estimate marked as low confidence. Listeners are likely hobbyist and enthusiast photographers interested in gear and workflow, and the site's Patreon page suggests listener-funded support rather than visible sponsors.
