The 13 Critical Podcast Statistics of 2018
Podcast statistics unveil a lot of truths about modern consumer behavior and the rise of audio as a content marketing avenue.
My friends at Edison Research have released their 2018 podcast statistics as part of their annual Infinite Dial study, conducted with Triton Digital. (Download The Infinite Dial 2018 report here—it’s worth your time, and it also chronicles the first-ever drop in social media usage in America.)
Edison uncovered several new trends and multiple continuations of podcast patterns that first started to appear in 2015. To see how podcast statistics have changed, visit my prior recaps:
2016 podcast statistics 2017 podcast statistics
This year, I’ve pulled out 13 of the most interesting facts about podcasting from The Infinite Dial research. You’ll find even more in the full report.
This research was conducted of Americans, ages 12 and up, and was balanced to be a representative sample of age, gender, location, and ethnicity.
64 Percent of Americans Have Heard of Podcasts
If you’re a podcaster, this number may actually seem small to you. But, compared to 2017, millions more Americans are now familiar with podcasting. And more Americans know what a podcast is than know who the Vice President is.
{new research} More Americans know what a podcast is than know who the Vice President is. Click To Tweet 44 Percent of Americans Have Ever Listened to a Podcast
That’s 124 million people overall, and up 12 million in just one year. For reference, 124 million people is approximately the combined population of New Zealand, Ireland, Costa Rica, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Nicaragua, Switzerland, Australia, Hungary, Sweden, Portugal, Greece, Belgium, Chile, and Hong Kong. That’s a lot of podcast listeners!
{new research} 12 million people listened to a podcast for the first time in the last year. Click To Tweet 26 Percent of Americans Listen to Podcasts Monthly
That’s up from 24 percent in 2017, and represents 73 million people. For context, 21 percent of Americans are Catholic. Thus, podcasts are more popular than Catholicism, in some respects.
{new research} 26% of Americans listen to podcasts each month. 21% of Americans are Catholic. Click To Tweet One-Third of Americans Ages 25 to 54 Listen to Podcasts Monthly
32 percent of Americans in this age range listen at least monthly, slightly more than Americans 12–24 (30 percent), and quite a bit more than older Americans. Among people in the United States aged 55 and over, just 13 percent listen monthly. There’s still a lot of growth potential within this older segment.
{new research} One-third of Americans 25–54 listen to podcasts at least monthly. Click To Tweet Podcast Listening Among American Women Jumped 14 Percent in One Year
Between 2017 and 2018, monthly podcast listenership among male Americans stayed flat, at 27 percent. The growth in podcasts in the USA is coming from females, showing an increase from 21 percent to 24 percent in monthly listenership. This is a 14 percent bump in one year.
{new research} Monthly podcast listening among American women jumped 14% in one year. Click To Tweet In 2018, Six Million More Americans Listen to Podcasts Weekly versus 2017
This is 48 million people total, and up six million from 2017. By any measure, it’s a lot of listeners. By way of comparison, approximately 20 million people watch NFL Sunday Night Football, routinely the highest-rated television program.
{new research} More than twice as many Americans listen to podcasts weekly vs. watching Sunday Night Football. Click To Tweet Podcast Fans Listen to 40 Percent More Shows Than Last Year
In the 2017 version of The Infinite Dial report, Edison Research found that podcast listeners consumed an average of five different podcasts each week. In 2018, podcast listeners have increased their listening by 40 percent, as weekly podcast fans now listen to an average of seven shows.
{new research} Podcast fans listen to an average of 7 shows per week (up 40% from 2017) Click To Tweet Listeners Are Slightly Less Loyal on a Per-Episode Basis
Last year, 85 percent of podcast listeners said they consumed “all” or “most” of each episode they downloaded. This year, that rate diminished to 80 percent. This is perhaps not a surprise, given the increase in number of shows listened to (from five to seven). Podcast fans are downloading more episodes, but listening to slightly less of each episode.
{new research} 80% of podcast listeners hear all or most of each episode they consume. Click To Tweet 23 Percent of Americans Have Listened to Podcasts in the Car
This is certainly how I listen to podcasts personally, and the number of Americans who do so moved from 19 percent to 23 percent in just one year. This is powered partially by the increase in mobile listening (see below) and a corresponding boost in the number of new vehicles that have streaming audio and podcasting integration included.
{new research} 23% of Americans have listened to podcasts in the car. Click To Tweet 49 Percent of Podcasts Are Listened to at Home
This statistic is similar to last year and continues to baffle people (like me) who habitually listen to podcasts in a vehicle.
{new research} 49% of podcasts are listened to at home. Click To Tweet 18 Percent of Americans Now Own Smart Speakers
Smart speakers like Amazon Alexa and Google Home are skyrocketing in popularity and are being adopted even faster than smartphones were a few years ago. In fact, between 2017 and 2018, the percentage of Americans owning at least one of these devices soared from seven percent to 18 percent.
This means that 51 million Americans now own a smart speaker, possibly contributing to the steadiness in podcast listening at home, given that these devices can play your favorite podcasts with a simple, verbal request.
{new research} Smart speaker (Alexa, et al.) ownership in America grew 157% in one year(!) Click To Tweet 33 Percent of Smart Speaker Owners Have More Than One Device
After I bought my first Amazon Alexa, I couldn’t figure out why you would need more than one. I now own three and am getting ready to buy another one. Once you start to get a feel for the tremendous number of potential uses for these devices, you find reasons to buy more, especially because the “mini” units are inexpensive.
{new research} 33% of American smart speaker (Alexa, et al.) owners have more than one device in their home. Click To Tweet 69 Percent of Podcasts Are Consumed on a Mobile Device
The ratio of podcast listening on a phone or tablet to podcast listening on a laptop continues to tilt toward mobility. In 2018, 69 percent of Americans who listen to podcasts primarily do so via mobile. In 2015, it was just 55 percent.
{new research} 69% of Americans podcast listeners primarily listen on a mobile device. Click To Tweet
There are your 13 critical podcast statistics for 2018. Definitely download the entire report.
Also, a reminder that I co-host the popular weekly Social Pros podcast, which covers how medium and large businesses handle social media marketing. Convince & Convert also produces The Content Experience podcast, which covers advanced content marketing strategies. And we produce The Experience This! Show, a chronicle of great case studies in customer service and customer experience.

The 13 Critical Podcast Statistics of 2018
Podcast statistics unveil a lot of truths about modern consumer behavior and the rise of audio as a content marketing avenue.
My friends at Edison Research have released their 2018 podcast statistics as part of their annual Infinite Dial study, conducted with Triton Digital. (Download The Infinite Dial 2018 report here—it’s worth your time, and it also chronicles the first-ever drop in social media usage in America.)
Edison uncovered several new trends and multiple continuations of podcast patterns that first started to appear in 2015. To see how podcast statistics have changed, visit my prior recaps:
2016 podcast statistics 2017 podcast statistics
This year, I’ve pulled out 13 of the most interesting facts about podcasting from The Infinite Dial research. You’ll find even more in the full report.
This research was conducted of Americans, ages 12 and up, and was balanced to be a representative sample of age, gender, location, and ethnicity.
64 Percent of Americans Have Heard of Podcasts
If you’re a podcaster, this number may actually seem small to you. But, compared to 2017, millions more Americans are now familiar with podcasting. And more Americans know what a podcast is than know who the Vice President is.
{new research} More Americans know what a podcast is than know who the Vice President is. Click To Tweet 44 Percent of Americans Have Ever Listened to a Podcast
That’s 124 million people overall, and up 12 million in just one year. For reference, 124 million people is approximately the combined population of New Zealand, Ireland, Costa Rica, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Nicaragua, Switzerland, Australia, Hungary, Sweden, Portugal, Greece, Belgium, Chile, and Hong Kong. That’s a lot of podcast listeners!
{new research} 12 million people listened to a podcast for the first time in the last year. Click To Tweet 26 Percent of Americans Listen to Podcasts Monthly
That’s up from 24 percent in 2017, and represents 73 million people. For context, 21 percent of Americans are Catholic. Thus, podcasts are more popular than Catholicism, in some respects.
{new research} 26% of Americans listen to podcasts each month. 21% of Americans are Catholic. Click To Tweet One-Third of Americans Ages 25 to 54 Listen to Podcasts Monthly
32 percent of Americans in this age range listen at least monthly, slightly more than Americans 12–24 (30 percent), and quite a bit more than older Americans. Among people in the United States aged 55 and over, just 13 percent listen monthly. There’s still a lot of growth potential within this older segment.
{new research} One-third of Americans 25–54 listen to podcasts at least monthly. Click To Tweet Podcast Listening Among American Women Jumped 14 Percent in One Year
Between 2017 and 2018, monthly podcast listenership among male Americans stayed flat, at 27 percent. The growth in podcasts in the USA is coming from females, showing an increase from 21 percent to 24 percent in monthly listenership. This is a 14 percent bump in one year.
{new research} Monthly podcast listening among American women jumped 14% in one year. Click To Tweet In 2018, Six Million More Americans Listen to Podcasts Weekly versus 2017
This is 48 million people total, and up six million from 2017. By any measure, it’s a lot of listeners. By way of comparison, approximately 20 million people watch NFL Sunday Night Football, routinely the highest-rated television program.
{new research} More than twice as many Americans listen to podcasts weekly vs. watching Sunday Night Football. Click To Tweet Podcast Fans Listen to 40 Percent More Shows Than Last Year
In the 2017 version of The Infinite Dial report, Edison Research found that podcast listeners consumed an average of five different podcasts each week. In 2018, podcast listeners have increased their listening by 40 percent, as weekly podcast fans now listen to an average of seven shows.

Hughes: Week 13 Bears at Giants Game Preview, Volume II - Da Bears Blog - Khalil Mack and the pass rush should dominate a Giants’ offensive line that has already allowed 38 sacks.

Packers-Cardinals Injury Report: Two cornerbacks, Bakhtiari, Taylor all questionable - Acme Packing Company - The Packers ruled five players out, but most of the truly critical players still have a chance to suit up on Sunday
Predictability is the premise for the Packers’ poor play-action performance - Acme Packing Company - Almost every team in the league benefits from play action, but not the Packers. Here’s one reason why that’s the case.
We played the numbers on the Packers 2018 season and they don’t add up - Acme Packing Company - The statistics normally indicative of a team’s quality don’t show in Green Bay’s dreadful 4-6-1 record. Ken’s Note: Packers fans and math don’t generally go well together, so this does not surprise.

Monday round-up
On Friday the Supreme Court issued its last orders for October Term 2018, agreeing to review 13 cases for a total of 11 hours of oral argument next term, including three consolidated cases in which the Trump administration is appealing lower-court orders that blocked its decision to end the Obama-era “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” program, which allowed immigrants brought to this country illegally as children to apply for protection from deportation. Amy Howe covers the order list for this blog, in a post that first appeared at Howe on the Court. At Fox News, Shannon Bream and Bill Mears report that “[a] ruling [in the DACA case] is expected in the presidential election year, putting the high court at the center of one of the most politically charged issues.” For The Wall Street Journal, Brent Kendall and Louise Radnofsky report that “[t]he Trump appeal had sat in an unusual Supreme Court limbo for the past six months, as the justices repeatedly put off any action—a signal they weren’t eager to take the case.” Additional coverage comes from Mark Walsh at Education Week’s School Law Blog and Nina Totenberg and Domenico Montenaro at NPR, who report that “[w]hile public approval for DREAMers is high — around 80% in most public opinion polls — the issues in the case are tricky,” because “the administration has hinged its legal position on its contention that Obama acted illegally.”
In another post at School Law Blog, Walsh reports that the court “agreed to review a decision by Montana’s highest court that struck down a tuition tax-credit program which, as enacted by that state’s legislature, allowed tuition scholarships to benefit students at private religious schools as well as secular schools.” For The New York Times, Adam Liptak reports that the justices also “turned down an appeal asking it to revive an Alabama law that would have banned the procedure used in the vast majority of second-trimester abortions.”
For USA Today, Richard Wolf looks back at the Supreme Court term, noting that “the conservative revolution has yet to materialize[:] Chief Justice John Roberts has shown he holds the court’s new swing vote, and President Donald Trump’s two highly touted nominees have proven to be unpredictable.” For The Wall Street Journal, Jess Bravin and Brent Kendall report that “[w]hile some cases split the court along its conservative-liberal divide, surprising coalitions emerged, suggesting a court preferring to tread cautiously toward the right rather than make a headlong rush.” Also for The Wall Street Journal, Kendall and Bravin report that, although “[o]n the term’s most significant, ideologically charged cases, the Trump appointees voted together,” “the two justices carved out distinct identities,” “particularly when it came to crime and commerce.” Bloomberg Law’s Cases and Controversies podcast offers a wrap-up of the term, looking at “where the high court is and where it’s going.” MoloLamken surveys the most important business cases of the term. Nina Totenberg and Tom Goldstein recap the term at NPR.
At Jost on Justice, Kenneth Jost writes that in Rucho v. Common Cause and Lamone v. Benisek, in which the court held that partisan-gerrymandering challenges to electoral maps are political questions that are not reviewable in court, “Roberts wrongly concludes that history is destiny: the Court’s failure in four cases to settle on a judicially manageable standard for gerrymandering cases proves, he says, that there is none.” At The Economist’s Democracy in America blog, Steven Mazie worries that “[w]ith no one watching over them, and with increasingly sophisticated methods of identifying optimal maps to warp elections, legislators are now empowered to gerrymander at will.”
At The Conversation, Kevin Johnson finds it “telling” that, in Department of Commerce v. New York, a challenge to the government’s decision to add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census, Chief Justice John “Roberts, who is keenly concerned about the court’s legitimacy, sided with the liberal justices in order to send the case back to the agency.” In an op-ed at Fox News, Curt Levey calls Roberts’ opinion “a repeat performance of his infamous 2012 decision rescuing ObamaCare.”
At Washington Monthly, Gilad Edelman writes that “[i]f a successful compromise is one that leaves both sides disappointed, then John Roberts had a banner day on Thursday,” with opinions for the court in both Rucho and Commerce. Opening Arguments (podcast) “breaks down the latest decisions from the Roberts court, including the ostensible ‘win’ in … the citizenship question case), and the crushing loss in … the gerrymandering cases.”
At the Pacific Legal Foundation blog, Christina Martin weighs in on Knick v. Township of Scott, Pennsylvania, the justices overruled a precedent that required property owners to follow state compensation procedures before bringing federal takings claim under the Constitution, arguing that the decision “will have implications stretching far beyond Knick’s farm in Pennsylvania, giving property owners nationwide a fighting chance to challenge government overreach and abuse.” Additional commentary on Knick comes from Adam Carrington in an op-ed for the Washington Examiner.
Briefly:
This blog’s Stat Pack, which contains an array of statistics for the recently concluded term, is here.
For the ABA Journal, Mark Walsh explains that “[a]fter [Justice Clarence] Thomas’ nearly 30 years on the court, his critics and supporters are still debating who Thomas is.”
In the latest episode of the Heritage Foundation’s SCOTUS 101 podcast, “John Malcolm joins Elizabeth Slattery to discuss the Supreme Court’s rulings on agency deference, the Census citizenship question, partisan gerrymandering, and a few cases coming up next term.”
In an op-ed for The Hill, Ryan Owens explains why, in Gundy v. United States, the court should have revived a doctrine that prohibits Congress from delegating its authority to other entities, observing that “[i]t’s not often one has the opportunity to undo an original sin.”
At Crime & Consequences, Kent Scheidegger writes that the court’s decision in Mitchell v. Wisconsin, in which the justices held that a state law allowing law enforcement to draw blood from unconscious drivers without a warrant does not violate the Fourth Amendment, “leaves just a little bit of daylight for defendants.”
In an op-ed for the Washington Examiner, Adam Carrington weighs in on Kisor v. Wilkie, in which the court left in place, but narrowed, precedent holding that courts should defer to an administrative agency’s reasonable interpretation of its own ambiguous regulations, lamenting that, “though zombified, Auer still packs an unconstitutional bite.”
We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up. If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com. Thank you!
The post Monday round-up appeared first on SCOTUSblog.

https://www.convinceandconvert.com/podcast-research/the-13-critical-podcast-statistics-of-2018/
Is 2019 a year of inflection point of podcast?
Podcast is a new term for me. Hearing from classmates of Trendspotting class, I was interested by this new medium and thought I have never consume it. By gathering information, I learned that “Podcast” refer to audio files (sometimes even videos) uploaded to specific platforms which could be subscribed by audiences and can be listened to on their schedule. Basing on this definition, Ximalaya FM, Lizhi and Qingting FM, I discussed in last two posts, could be regarded as Chinese podcast platforms. Now let’s have a look at Podcast around the World.
The statistic shows that 56% of Americans have never listened to a podcast. And that number is even higher in countries like India, Russia and Brazil where there’s still not a lot of podcast content in their native languages. Google stated its ambition of reaching these audiences who have never consume podcast by following measures. The first one is that there would be preloaded tool in searching engines to listen to podcast, which，in my knowledge, will not work well. Because downloading an app is not a major task, this could not be counted as a virtue. The other is audiences will benefit from searching for contents themselves of the shows instead of topics. This will attract more users since people have a hard time searching for most relevant contents that interest them. I believe if more sophisticated algorithms and programming are employed to analyze emotion and develop concepts of the contents, instead of matching text simply, will lead to brighter future of podcast.
