Is there such a thing as a breakthrough?
Hi There, I started Podcasting 1,5 Years ago and my numbers are these:
Month | Streams
----------|--------
Dec 2024 | 14
Jan 2025 | 114
Feb 2025 | 32
Mar 2025 | 28
Apr 2025 | 47
May 2025 | 72
Jun 2025 | 114
Jul 2025 | 91
Aug 2025 | 16
Sep 2025 | 32
Oct 2025 | 26
Nov 2025 | 94

Jan 2026 | 190
Feb 2026 | 235
Mar 2026 | 173
Apr 2026 | 239
Chat GPT says I am close to have a breakout moment, but as I don't trust AI, and I only trust Reddit, I wanted to ask here. Does anyone, starting from scratch ever reached breakthrough? Like suddenly hitting 1000 Streams/ Month? Or seeing their numbers spike for whatever reason? I am looking for examples of people that don't have a Insta Following Community or a best seller book or is already a big number on Youtube. I am interested in a normal someone (like me) a dude or a girl with a podcast. It would be interesting to have a little benchmark if you don't mind sharing your numbers too.
