This week made more of the work visible. Public chart pages show what listeners are choosing, analytics reports can leave the admin dashboard through controlled share links, and tracked podcast links give teams a clearer view of what happens after someone clicks.
New features
Public Apple Podcasts charts
Mato now has public country and category charts for the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Norway. Each chart keeps its source and observation date visible, with routes into show profiles and an inspiration tool for teams researching a new format.
Shareable podcast analytics reports
Teams can create a private analytics report and share it through a dedicated link, with an optional password when the audience needs another access check. The report includes scoped podcast performance and safe RSS diagnostics without opening the rest of the workspace.
Tracked links for podcast calls to action
Podcast calls to action can use short go.heymato.com links with stable aliases. The link keeps the destination easy to manage while recording privacy-minimized click activity and the metadata needed to understand which episode or campaign produced it.
Improvements
Long scripted episodes now move through a modular blueprint pipeline. Planning, drafting, repair, and final review have clearer boundaries, so a failed part can be retried without throwing away the entire episode.
Public chart pages also load rankings in smaller pages instead of trying to render the full result set at once. That reduces cold-start work and makes large categories easier to browse.
Bug fixes
Interview recovery now keeps the selected host voice during warm-up, validates rolling video tracks against the right storage bucket, and reconnects restored sessions without dropping the final recorded segments.
Backfilled on August 29, 2026. The screenshot shows the current public charts interface, not a historical capture from August 3.
