The ten open two-hour windows this week where the audience is most likely online, scored 0 to 100 on the demand index at the bottom of the page.
Drop times come from each show's own podcast feed on Barstool's servers. The grid takes every episode from the last ten weeks, finds the usual time for each weekday, and draws the window where most drops landed. "9 of 10" means the show dropped on that weekday in 9 of the last 10 weeks. Shows that drop at scattered times go in the "drops sometime" row, and shows with no pattern are listed as no set time.
Live blocks come from posted schedules: Wake Up Barstool 8 to 10am on FS1, RoneDotCom Wednesdays at 9am, Mostly Sports weekdays at 11am, Sports Central Monday to Thursday at noon, and The Yak weekdays at 1pm. RoneDotCom and Sports Central don't post end times, so those are estimates. The Brandon Walker show doesn't post start times either, so its blocks are worked back from when episodes go up. Dashed blocks (Gambling Cave, After Dark, the Saturday College Football Show) run some weeks and not others, so they don't count toward double bookings or open slots.
The release window is 12am to 6am, when most podcasts publish so they're waiting for the morning. It's shaded and left out of open slots and recommendations.
