The ADM hosted a webcast called “The Podcast Consumer Revealed” from Tom Webster of Edison Research yesterday. Thanks very much to all that attended. This is the sort of resource the Association for Downloadable Media will continue to provide.
Those that attended got a firsthand look at who uses podcasts and how they use them. Some key points, as highlighted on Twitter at #poddata inlcuded:
- 1 in 5 Americans (22%) have listened to a podcast.
- 59% men 41% women, 18-44 demo = 60% of podcast users.
- Most downloadable media is consumed via desktop, mobile growing.
- Podcast users are very active on social networks – mainly Myspace and Facebook
- 24% of podcast consumers feel “emotional connection” with their favorite podcasts.
- Podcast consumers are more receptive to advertisers heard in podcast vs heard via internet radi.
