Podcast Analytics does not work

I posted my podacst on Apple Podcasts couple of months ago and did everything by the book. It's approved and fullly working yet I can't see any analytics although people told me they are listening to it. I did played a couple of episodes till the end a week ago yet I still can't see anything. What am I doing wrong? I need the analytics because we are approching sponsors and they wanna see stats. All other platforms show statistics perfectly including Google Podcasts and Spotify only Apple Podcasts not ahowing anything. They say that it appears within 72 hours but nothing is showing from my listens last week and nothing from other people the past couple of months.

This is my Podcast link if you wanna check:

Any help is highly appreciated.

Regards,

Hisham.

Apple does not report stats for ALL podcasts - just for those getting over a certain level of consumption within 60 days of release of an episode. It looks like from past data that number is around 75 to 100 plays by listeners within 60 days of release to get stats to show up. Otherwise it will give a message of not enough data or something similar. The key for stats however goes back to where you host your files.

You want to make sure they have good stats - ie - their stats are IAB certified (NOT compliant - but certified). That means avoid hosting at Anchor, Soundcloud, squarespace, red circle and others like that if stats are important to you.

I see you are hosting your files on Archive.org - you will not get any meaningful stats from that. If you are interested in real stats - you will need to host with someone that is IAB V2 certified for stats. Archive.org will not cut it for anyone interested in real metrics.
