   Listen Notes seems to be suggesting that there are LOADS of active podcasts this year: double the rate of last year.

   But, Podcast Index claims 477,891 have updated in the last 90 days.
   That number this time in 2024 was 452,602.
   And this time in 2023, that number was 487,364.

   I don't really understand the difference. @js @dave what say you?
