Research shows that almost 90 million Americans listen to podcasts and this number is predicted to grow to over 100 million by 2024 (National School Public Relations Association News, Dec 2022). Podcasts are attractive to because they are portable, allowing consumers to engage in other activities while listening (Edison Research & Triton Digital, 2019). In addition, a podcast offers the opportunity to explore topics that are better suited to conversation than written communication.
Podcast episodes launch every couple of weeks, generally on Thursday afternoons and subscribers will receive automatic notifications when new episodes are available.
