Can I only use qualitative secondary data for my data collection in my EPQ?

The topic I’m doing makes it impossible to collect primary data and I can find barely any statistics online from secondary data, but there are many podcasts and interviews online I can use (qualitative data only). However I’m worried that this is not focused enough as I’m not using quantitative data.

You may be restricting yourself by not having much secondary data from academic articles (obviously depending on the subject, I'm a science student so everything I use has to be from books or journals). Do using only qualititative data answer the question?
