Counting Episodes: Just How Many Do We Listen To?

Description:

We're diving into the oh-so-fun world of podcast listening habits today, folks. Some people think most listeners are "Full." So how many podcasts are we actually cramming into our ears each week? And let me tell you, the answers are as varied as the podcasts themselves. From folks who binge a couple of episodes while commuting to some who claim they listen to 30-plus shows, it’s a wild ride. So grab your headphones and settle in as we break down the absurdity of our listening obsessions and peek behind the curtain of our podcasting lives.

Takeaways:

  • Podcasting might feel saturated, but there's always room for new shows and ideas.
  • Listeners subscribe to many shows, but they often only tune into a select few episodes weekly.
  • The average podcast listener seems to juggle multiple shows, depending on their daily activities.
  • Even seasoned podcasters have varied listening habits that shift over time and circumstances.
  • Finding a good podcast is like finding a needle in a haystack, but hey, it's worth the search!
  • People are still engaging with podcasts, despite claims of saturation in the market.
