Surprising New Data About Podcast Fans Who Mostly Listen
About this episode
According to a new report from Sounds Profitable, Audio Primes are podcast consumers who listen to at least 75% of their content as audio.
It's easy to imagine these listeners as eccentric holdouts from a bygone age; in it since 2004, fiercely loyal to their MP3 players, and manually downloading shows on the iTunes desktop app. (Not that there is anything wrong with this, by the way!)
But the data shows Audio Primes as an audience that skews younger. To add to their youthfulness, we see a group who are well-educated, high-earning, engaged, deliberate, loyal, and value word-of-mouth recommendations.
On this week's episode of Podcraft, I'm joined by the report's author, Tom Webster. Tom helps us understand more about who Audio Primes are, and what this can mean for us as indie creators in our own efforts to reach them.
