WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE PODCAST WORLD
Survey Reveals Podcast Listening Habits and Ad Preferences of US Consumers

The survey was carried out in January and focused on people's podcast listening habits and preferences for advertisements. It highlighted the important part social media plays in helping people discover new podcasts. Additionally, the results revealed what types of ads listeners prefer and when they want to hear them during podcasts. These insights emphasize that there is an increasing desire for tailor-made ad experiences within podcasts.

PODCAST OF THE DAY
Sobriety Uncensored

Putting together a sobriety toolkit is an excellent idea for anyone looking to cut back or quit drinking. To get the most out of recovery, finding support from others who have been through similar experiences is essential. If you're looking for insight and guidance on making your alcohol-free life a success, Sobriety Uncensored by Daniel Patterson could be just what you need. The podcast aims to provide different perspectives on sobriety from experts in the field and people who are currently navigating life without substances.

PODCAST TIP OF THE DAY
How To Get Stared With Notion

As a podcaster, you can use Notion as an app to take notes of your outline for your podcast or even your overall personal management, which can even include your budgets and schedule. On the other hand, if you have a team with you in your podcast journey, you can simply collaborate work, delegate tasks, and organize your team by using Notion. Any form of team, business, or workgroup can utilize the app in all ways that they will require when it comes to collaboration, feedback, and updates.

  • Based on figures released in April 2020, Acast, a podcasting platform, also pointed to science and medicine as clear front runners in favored content. 

  • Sixty-five per cent of science podcast series were hosted by scientists and 77% were targeted to public audiences. Although a wide range of primarily single-subject science podcasts series were noted, 34% of science podcast series were not dedicated to a science subject. Compared to biology and physics, chemistry may be under-represented by science podcasts. Only 24% of science podcast series had any overt financial income. Sixty-two per cent of science podcast series were affiliated to an organization; producing a greater number of episodes (median = 24, average = 96) than independent science podcast series.

If you love listening to spoken-word stuff on Audible, chances are you're also into podcasts. So, if you're a podcaster, using Audible could be good because your listeners might already be there too.
