I learned this week that Spotify statistics for posts synched from Substack can be viewed in Spotify. You just need to create a Spotify account that uses the same email address as you list in your newsletter Settings for RSS feed email address, then 'claim' the podcast.
If you already have a Spotify account under a different email address, you'll need to update the RSS feed email in your Settings to match, and wait for the .RSS file to be refreshed to show the new email address. (Or you can change the email address on your Spotify account.)
Then contact Spotify support to 'claim' the podcast as yours. The bot routed me quickly to human chat, where they were very responsive and helpful.

I haven’t dove this deep into it yet.
There’s value in creating different but intersectional content for podcasts that is separate from audio read to them.
