This Podcaster Life

Will podcast take over radio? Or can radio exist side by side with podcast? In less than 15 years, on-demand podcasts have become a key part of the media landscape that is luring advertisers to a market that is worth tens of millions of dollars and growing. For this episode, we discuss the history of radio as well as how radio stations can adopt podcasts in their programming to reach out to a wider audience and solve the issue of monetisation.

2019 has shaped up to a big year for podcasting.

The next stage of growth will come from the audience who have never listened to a podcast before, such as 65% of the global audience, from mobile savvy countries such as China and India.

Streaming-audio giant Spotify recently shelled out USD$337 million to acquire Gimlet Media, the maker of Reply All and other popular shows, and Anchor, the company behind an app that allows anyone to easily create their own podcasts.

And the company is not done — Spotify says it has other podcast acquisitions in mind and that it expects to spend up to $500 million on deals this year. With these deals, Spotify is now fully in the podcast content creation business, a move it has interestingly yet to make with music.

In this episode, we talk about Spotify and their bold ambition to take over the podcasting world. Is it a good time to get into podcasting now?
