This is What’s Really Driving Podcasting Growth
When we pay attention to statistics, we learn what is happening with consumer behavior. What do these statistics say about podcasts as an avenue for content marketing? Why is audio on the rise?
One of the biggest drivers of this consumption is that podcasts support the multi-tasking of today’s listener. Users can’t read an e-book while doing the dishes and watching a YouTube video is difficult during errands. However, with podcasts, listeners can consume content while doing virtually anything — 59% of podcast fans have listened to an episode while doing housework, and 52% have done so while driving. Because consumers don’t need to carve out extra time to listen to their favorite show, these consumers listen to podcasts, and they listen to them a lot at nearly all times of the day.
