Is Podcasting in a Slump?


Listen Later

According to the most recent stats by the Podcast Index, there are 315,000 active podcasts (based on publishing at least one episode in the last 30 days), with 446,000 in the last 90 days.

Given there are 4.2 million podcasts listed in the index, are the seemingly low numbers (around 10% of all podcasts actively publishing) a cause for concern, or an opportunity for podcasters in the long term?

Join your host Danny Brown, and guest co-hosts Bryan Entzminger and Al Grego, as they dive into the data and offer their take.

Our guest co-hosts this week:

Al Grego

Introducing: Life's 2nd Act

Life's 2nd Act: a podcast journey into finding direction and purpose. This is the podcast that delves into the transformative phase of mid/later life, exploring its challenges, new directions and uncertainties that come with it. We do that through talking to people who have a story to tell and insight to share, or a snippet of something special. Sharing stories, exploring dilemmas and seeking solutions together.
