In 2025, 54 percent of adults in the US reported listening to a podcast in the past 12 months, and 40 percent (which is approximately 210 million) are weekly podcast listeners. Podcasts are a resource for people to learn while also accomplishing another task. Many podcast listeners listen while commuting to work, cleaning their house, or exercising.
