WHY PODCASTS?

It's long-form content that busy people will actually consume.

Busy people who are too distracted to read a whole article will listen to a podcast while they're stuck in traffic, squeezing in a run, or folding that dreaded mountain of laundry.

The ability to multi-task makes podcasts the ultimate deep-dive format. According to Buzzsprout, most episodes are 20-40 minutes long and 80% of listeners listen to all or most of every podcast episode they start.

Still not convinced?

Here are more reasons why podcasting is powerful.

  • Monthly listeners are 53% more likely to have a degree
  • And they're 28% more likely to have an annual household income over $100k
