Little People, Big World stars, Tori and Zach Roloff launched their new podcast, Raising Heights, but is it taking a nose-dive? Could it be because they also announced their departure from the TLC show? Read on to find out what is happening.
LPBW Tori and Zach Roloff Did Well With Raising Heights
When the pilot episode went up for Raising Heights in early February, a few thousand people went and looked at it on YouTube. However, things started to take off and three episodes followed since then. But it was the number of LPBW fans who started tuning in across platforms that got the young mom excited. She told her fans:
The first freaking day and y’all have pushed us into the top 100 podcasts on apple and #4 in society and culture!!!!! Wow wow wow!!!
After six days, the third episode by Tori and Zach Roloff on YouTube called, “Why We’re Really Leaving Little People, Big World,” raked in 426K views. The podcast has 64.1K subscribers so far. But did the news that they left the TLC show reverse their popularity? If you don’t know, Jackson seemed reluctant to film, and his parents felt it was time to move on from the show..
Nose-Diving Podcast For Little People, Big World Stars?
This week, The Sun reported that the initial success fell away for Raising Heights. The outlet suggested that their departure from TLC announcement caused a loss of interest. The article noted:
They were in the No. 42 spot in the Top Shows category on Apple Podcasts for their first week. In the relationships category, Raising Heights was in the No. 1 spot. Now…Raising Heights has dropped significantly for week four, as they dropped down to the No. 190 spot for Top Shows. As for the Relationships category, Raising Heights dropped down to the No. four spot.
Well, with Little People, Big World on the air at the moment, perhaps that distracted everyone who tuned in. Of course, the figures do seem depressed, but is it likely to fail? Probably, unless something drastic happens, YouTube will help the money come in. After all, there are other experienced podcasters with more followers bringing in fewer than 400K views.
Will things Turn Around?
Two weeks ago, TLC posted a preview for Season 25 on YouTube, and it only managed 152K viewers so far. Many LPBW fans adored Tori and Zach Roloff before the feud over the farm. Remember, Matt Roloff refused to sell them a portion of the land. Unfortunately, the subsequent season brought the couple a lot of hate. And yet, without them in the show with their charming kids, will anyone want to watch Caryn Chander, Matt Roloff, Chris Marek, and Amy Roloff?
Perhaps if the show ends, and Tori and Zach Roloff never return to TLC, fans of the couple will keep the Raising Heights podcast going across all platforms. However, their devoted followers would like to see them do well on Apple, which is like the premiere podcast platform.
