Americans Tune into Podcasts Less Frequently
A new report by Harker Bos Group reveals a shift in podcast listening habits among Americans. The study found that people are not tuning into podcasts as frequently as they did in 2024. It suggests this change might reflect broader shifts in media consumption patterns, with audiences exploring podcasts on their own terms. As more media options become available, podcast listening is becoming less of a daily habit and more occasional. Despite this, it remains an activity that people value.

Podcast Tip Of The DayNext time you flub a line, add a distinct sound cue (like a subtle bell, sound effect, or even a tongue click) right before the mistake. This creates an "edit flag" for your producer (or future-you) to easily find and cut the error without losing the flow. Bonus: Use different sounds for "redo this section" vs. "cut entirely" to speed up post-production. |  |
