A typical post picks up 29 interactions against 8.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 765 original posts, its engagement rate beats 5% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 20K times each, and 0.145% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.236% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 765 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 24, 2026. Recurring tags: #newyorkerradio, #metoo, #newyorkerradiohour.
