    • Let’s break down the numbers. According to Listen Notes, there are 3.6 million podcasts available for consumption. According to Exploding Topics, “Business” podcasts represent 8.9% of all podcast genres.

      Here’s where it gets interesting. According to Podcast Industry Insights, less than 25% of podcasts in the ‘business’ genre were active, having released a new episode within the most recent 90 days.

    • People listen to podcasts for a variety of different reasons. According to a December 2022 survey of 5,132 U.S. adults (18+) by Pew Research, 60% cited “entertainment” as the most common “major reason” for listening to podcasts. Some 55% say that learning is a major reason for listening, and 52% say a primary reason is to have something to listen to while they do something else.

    • Professionals are people, too. According to a survey of over 2,700 users by LinkedIn, 44% of department heads, VPs, owners, and C-suites listen to podcasts. The same study showed 39% of LinkedIn users in the U.S. listen to podcasts.

    • According to Podcast Insights, 49% of podcast listeners tune in from home, while 22% listen in the car. Research from Demand Sage shows that 79% of podcast listeners in the U.S. tune in from their smartphone. More than 60% of all podcast media consumption happens on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

    • Your ideal podcast length may vary based on a number of different factors. However, take into consideration that the average commute is 25 minutes, the average time to mow a lawn is 45 minutes, and the average workout duration is 20 minutes.

    • Many podcast listeners discover new shows on YouTube, and subscribe on Apple/Spotify. Incorporating video into your production process (without degrading the audio experience) enables new ways to promote your show.
