The Second Golden Age of Audio: The Rise of Podcasts
Tumblr media
Podcasts might bring to mind the nostalgia of yesteryear’s radio, but they have undeniably ushered in what many are calling the second golden age of audio. Since their inception, podcasts have evolved from niche hobbyist projects to mainstream media platforms, capturing the imaginations of millions. This surge in popularity, particularly noticeable after 2014, can be attributed to the rapid advancements in technology and the pervasive reach of the Internet. Today, people of all ages and from all corners of the globe are hooked on podcasts, finding them a convenient and engaging way to seek information, entertainment, and education.
The Evolution of Podcasts
The term "podcast" was coined in 2004, blending "iPod" and "broadcast." However, it wasn't until the technological advancements of the mid-2010s that podcasts truly began to flourish. The proliferation of smartphones, improvements in mobile internet speeds, and the development of user-friendly podcast apps contributed significantly to this boom.
Laptops and Mobile Phones: These devices have become the primary means through which people consume podcasts. With the advent of more powerful and affordable smartphones, access to podcasts became more widespread. Users can now listen to their favorite shows on the go, whether during a commute, workout, or while doing household chores.
Apps and Streaming Services: The rise of platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and other dedicated podcast apps has made discovering and subscribing to podcasts easier than ever. These platforms offer user-friendly interfaces, personalized recommendations, and seamless integration with other media services.
Other Technologies: Smart speakers and voice-activated assistants, such as Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home, have further expanded the accessibility of podcasts. These devices allow users to play episodes with simple voice commands, integrating podcasts into their daily routines effortlessly.
The Growing Popularity of Podcasts
As technology made podcasts more accessible, people's habits and preferences began to shift. The Internet's ubiquitous presence has fundamentally changed how we seek and consume information. Here are some factors contributing to the exponential rise in podcast popularity:
Convenience and Flexibility: Podcasts offer unparalleled convenience. Unlike traditional radio or TV, podcasts can be accessed anytime, anywhere. Listeners can choose from a vast array of topics and genres, fitting their consumption around their own schedules. This flexibility has made podcasts a favorite medium for multitaskers.
Diverse Content: The podcasting world is incredibly diverse. There are shows covering virtually every topic imaginable, from true crime and history to science fiction and self-improvement. This diversity caters to a wide range of interests, ensuring there is something for everyone.
Engagement and Connection: Podcasts create a unique sense of intimacy and connection between hosts and listeners. The audio format allows for personal storytelling and in-depth discussions, fostering a sense of familiarity and trust. This engagement is often more profound than what other media formats can offer.
Educational Value: Many podcasts provide educational content, making learning accessible and enjoyable. From language learning podcasts to deep dives into academic subjects, podcasts have become a valuable tool for lifelong learning.
Community Building: Podcasts often build dedicated communities of listeners who share common interests. This sense of community is reinforced through social media interactions, live events, and listener participation segments, further enhancing the podcast experience.
The Impact of Podcasts on Information Seeking Habits
The rise of podcasts has significantly influenced how people seek information and entertainment. Here are some key ways in which podcasts have reshaped these habits:
On-Demand Information: The on-demand nature of podcasts aligns with modern information-seeking habits. People are no longer bound by broadcast schedules; they can access the information they want, when they want it. This immediacy has changed expectations for content consumption.
Multitasking: Podcasts have become the go-to medium for multitaskers. Whether driving, exercising, or cooking, people can absorb content while engaged in other activities. This ability to multitask has expanded the time available for learning and entertainment.
Personalization: Podcast platforms use algorithms to recommend shows based on listening history, making it easier for users to discover new content tailored to their preferences. This personalization enhances the user experience and encourages continued engagement.
Depth and Detail: Unlike traditional media, podcasts often delve deep into subjects, providing detailed analysis and long-form discussions. This depth of content appeals to those seeking a more comprehensive understanding of a topic.
The Future of Podcasts
The future of podcasts looks incredibly promising. As technology continues to evolve, so too will the ways in which we create and consume audio content. Here are some trends and developments to watch for in the coming years:
Continued Technological Advancements: Advances in AI and machine learning will likely improve podcast recommendations and discoverability. Enhanced voice recognition technology will make interacting with podcasts even more seamless.
Monetization and Professionalization: As the industry grows, more opportunities for monetization will emerge. This could lead to higher production values and more professionally produced content, attracting even larger audiences.
Interactive Podcasts: The future might see the rise of interactive podcasts, where listeners can influence the direction of the content in real-time, creating a more engaging and participatory experience.
Global Reach: Podcasts are already popular worldwide, but as internet access improves in developing regions, their reach will expand even further. This global audience will bring new voices and perspectives to the medium.
Integration with Other Media: Podcasts are increasingly being integrated with other forms of media, such as video and social media platforms. This cross-media integration will create new ways for audiences to engage with content.
Conclusion
Podcasts have undeniably ushered in a second golden age of audio, transforming how we seek information, entertainment, and education. The combination of technological advancements and shifting consumer habits has propelled podcasts to unprecedented popularity. With their convenience, diverse content, and unique ability to engage listeners, podcasts are here to stay. As we look to the future, the podcasting landscape will continue to evolve, offering even more innovative and immersive experiences for audiences around the world. Whether you’re a seasoned listener or just discovering the medium, there has never been a better time to dive into the world of podcasts.

I’m not sure when during my first listen of TMA I started to headcanon Jon as having a lot of nervous ticks and bad habits similar to Danny— whether it be how they both obsess and throw themselves completely into things or how Tim describe’s Danny’s dramatic manner of speech. Regardless, I imagine Tim picking up on these similarities, giving him a sort of brotherly fondness for Jon at the start and making his anger towards him in the end only worse. Because why does it have to be Jon of all people that reminds him of Danny, even after everything he’s done?
With all that out of the way— here’s some incredibly angsty art :D
The first image I imagine takes place shortly before Jon becomes the head archivist at the magnus institute™️, the second showing Danny and early season 2 era Jon, and the last with season 3 era Jon and Tim
there’s a ton of tiny details and character design things I did specifically to make myself more sad so have fun looking for those <3

I just had a not-so-fun thought. Since Sherlock & Co. is aware that it's a podcast and occasionally references real word events that are currently happening or have recently happened...Do you think the creators will stop releasing episodes of the podcast for two or three years after the Reichenbach Fall to create a consistent and realistic timeline of Sherlock's faked death and John and Mariana mourning? Or do you think they'll shorten the time of Sherlock's absence to merely a few months of playing dead for the audience if they go down this route? Maybe after Sherlock "dies" we'll just get a few sad episodes of John venting to us about missing Sherlock. Whatever happens, I'm both looking forward to and fearing how they will handle this part of the story!

TMP Stream Of Consciousness Theory
(Like, I'm forming it and I'm not sure where I'm headed here)
Spoilers All - TMP
So as I'm reading through a lot of Lena Post on here it's starting to strick at me. Her wording when she vaguely explained things to Gwen in EP 13, Futures.
Gwen asks if they're the bad guys.
Lena hesitates before answering "We are... Managing, the bad guys."
Unlike the The Magnus Institute they aren't collecting Statements, they're keeping track of them.
Lena doesn't see herself and her work as good, but a necessary evil.
This would make Lena NOT Jonah's Parallel, but Gertrude's.
To Gertrude, Michael was a necessary evil, but she hurt no more people than absolutely necessary.
Lena isn't willing to put her employees in unnecessary risk.
The Magnus Institute was destroyed and OIAR has something called The Magnus Protocol.
They're preventing the Dread Powers from taking hold. Be it Fear, Hunger, or Regret. They're making sure no one of them gets a real foothold into our world. And if one gets to close. Well, they have their last resort.
The Magnus Protocol

So I’ve seen a few people theorising that Malam is future Arthur or John or some kind of mash of them in one person. The similar scars, inflection, knowledge of Faroe “OUR day of wrath”
But I have one to add. The fact he knew what a palindrome was when that word won’t exist for another 400 YEARS!!
