Fedora Podcast Report: 2026-Q2

The Fedora Podcast had a strong Q2 2026 across the board. On YouTube we crossed 13,911 subscribers, adding 947 in the quarter and pulling 35,636 views with 2,471 hours of watch time. So the channel is still climbing steadily. The Fedora 44 Release Party was the single biggest driver at 10,059 views, and we also covered Flock 2026 live.

On the audio side, Fireside is sitting at 98,964 all-time downloads across 56 episodes, with most of our listeners in the US, Germany, and the UK, mostly through Chrome and AntennaPod.

The newest bright spot is PeerTube: since moving the show onto the Linux Rocks instance we’ve gone from 4 subscribers and 85 views to 13 subscribers and 3,216 views. Our audience skews heavily 25 to 44 and watches mostly on desktop, which tracks with the kind of technical, contributor-focused content we make.

Plenty of room to grow, but the trend lines all point the right way.
