The podcasting industry, while it's around 15 years old, is still a relatively new medium for the vast majority of people. Also, realize that the concept of podcasting has been around since the 1980s and was called but was called "Audioblogging."  A surprising stat we learned is:

Approximently, 58 million people in the US alone still don't know what a Podcast is. Or that they might have 2-3 apps that can play them already on their phone!

And yet, this somewhat underground industry is rapidly doubling in interest year over year! Which is fantastic news for fiction writers and anyone interested in storytelling and creative ways of expanding your reach in the world.

Most of the podcast networks we mention in the episode produce a mix of fiction and non-fiction podcasts.  So if you have a non-fiction podcast idea you can still look into Podcasting!  Everything we talk about can be applied to non-fiction topics. But, the fiction space is growing and audio drama is an up and coming trend in this space.
