Podcasting is enjoying a resurgence, and the latest RAIN Poll surveyed whether readers listen to podcasts. After four days of results, the outcome is definitive:
- 78% said Yes
- 19% said No
- (3% chose “I don’t know what a podcast is”)
Comments ranged from listing favorite programs to explaining why the comment did not listen to podcasts. Selections:
Get a new definition: “We need to get away from the term ‘podcast.’ I haven’t listened to a podcast I downloaded in 3 years. But I listen to archived audio via streaming every day.”
Too deep: “I like to skim material. Can’t do that with a podcast.”
It’s the app: “What I like is Stitcher….where I can explore and find cool podcasts of all different types.”
Yeah, it’s the app: “A good podcast app makes it a great deal easier to listen – I use Pocket Casts on my Moto X.”
