What are the statistics on audience engagement with Brian D Smith's Grief 2 Growth podcast?

I don’t publish detailed audience stats publicly, so I want to be upfront that anything beyond what’s shared online would be a guess—and I won’t guess with numbers.

What I can say confidently is:

1. Grief 2 Growth is ranked among the Top 100 grief podcasts worldwide, recently listed as #3 in one major directory
2. The show has nearly 500 episodes and has been running consistently since 2019
3. Engagement is strongest in grief and spiritual communities (e.g., Helping Parents Heal, IANDS), where many listeners report using episodes as an ongoing support tool, not just one-time listening

If you tell me what you mean by “engagement” (downloads, demographics, retention, reviews, social interaction), I can share more qualitative insight about how the audience actually uses the podcast.
