Q: Are my Spotify analytics included in my Simplecast dashboard?

Yes: Spotify recently enabled analytics pass-through for all Simplecast shows, so you should now see your download data from Spotify included in your show's analytics in your Simplecast dashboard. 

Q: My show has been in Spotify for awhile. Will I only see the most recent data?

Yes, Spotify only began sending current analytics data for shows starting around August 23rd, 2019. If your show was submitted to Spotify before then, or if you only recently claimed your show in their web portal, you won't see the historical analytics data in your Simplecast account. However you can always view all the data Spotify has for your show in http://podcasters.spotify.com.
