Buzzsprout, the platform where the 3D InCites podcast lives, does a cool thing at the end of the year. It provides the podcast backtrack –  a recap of your stats, including the top performing episodes. So we thought we’d share it with you, our listeners and sponsors, to give you an idea of the reach we have.

podcast backtrack Top 30% of Podcasts

According to the Buzzsprout Backtrack report, our niche-y little podcast was in the top 50% of all Buzzsprout podcasts! How do they calculate that? It’s based on the first seven days of downloads. 50% of podcasts average 28 downloads in the first seven days. The top 25% average 111 downloads in the first seven days. Since we average 60-90 downloads in the first seven days, I figure that puts us closer to the top 30%.

We’re Globe Trotters!

The 3D InCites podcast is listened to in 57 countries around the world, with the top downloads coming in from the U.S., Japan, Taiwan, Germany, and the UK. Tokyo was the hottest spot on our listener map, with 242 downloads.

The Top Five Episodes of 2024

Most importantly, here are the top five most listened to episodes of the year! If you missed them, you can find them all here.

ECTC 2024: Can Photonics Solve the AI Energy Problem? Why is Process Control so Critical to Advanced Packaging?

The AI Explosion, Chiplet Architectures, and Enabling the Future of Moore’s Law: Conversations from IMAPS DPC 2024

Coming in at 209 downloads, this episode features Arvind Kumar, of 3D InCites member company,  IBM and Hemanth Dhavaleswarapu of AMD, about chiplet application drivers, such as artificial intelligence. Pooya Tadeyon, of Intel, explains why moving to advanced packaging, and particularly chiplet architectures, will enable the future of Moore’s law.

There were many more episodes this year – 42 in all that made up the rest of the 8.5K downloads. We addressed industry trends and important topics like AI, The Chips Acts in the U.S. and Europe, digital twins, powering sustainable industry growth, the future of work, the evolution of EDA tools for advanced packaging, the semiconductor supply chain, Foundry 2.0,  panel level packaging, advances in metrology, and much more.

What’s Coming for 2025?

Get ready for another year of podcasting! Already in the works – our annual conversation with SEMI’s Market Intelligence team, and a conversation about managing risks and building resilience in the semiconductor equipment supply chain.

Here’s your chance to participate. What topics interest you?  We’ll work with our community members to bring those episodes to life.
