On-demand audio and video have become an essential element of the media mix. On- Demand audio is convenient, cost effective, and measurable. The growth of audio content continues its upward trajectory, and podcasts are audio's blockbuster star.

 

On-demand audio is any digital audio downloaded by request and not listened to via a live stream. On-demand audio includes full podcast episodes, segments from shows/podcasts, and standalone audio clips. Podcasts are audio content collections made up of episodes. 

 

"Podcasts now reach over 100 million Americans every month," said Tom Webster, SVP of Edison Research, "and are attracting an increasingly diverse audience. Also, with 62% of Americans now saying they have used some kind of voice assistance technology, audio is becoming a bigger part of our everyday lives."

 

When it comes to online audio listening (including AM/FM streaming and streamed audio content only available online):

  • An estimated 68% of the 12+ population listens every month.
  • On average, weekly podcast audiences listen to eight podcasts or 5.1 podcast shows. 
  • Active digital audio listeners spent 2 hours and 5 minutes per day on audio.
