Is podcasting the new Record label, Radio station, and Marketing tool?
Seamless entertainment is sponsoring the Entertainment Engine podcast, for all things; Music, Film and TV. Let's check it out!
Over the past several years, podcasting has become a mainstream way for people, companies and businesses to share their message with the world.
You don’t have to fight with a social media algorithm, you just upload a new podcast episode each week or month and your subscribers can listen instantly on many platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, Google Podcast etc.
It does feel like wherever you turn people are starting to really recognize the power of podcasting, we think this is very exciting and is most definitely a way of exposing people to your services or products…
Podcasting awareness has exploded in recent years.
In 2006, only 22% of consumers knew what a podcast was, but by 2019 64% of consumers were aware of podcasting, now that is a huge jump in only a decade.
By 2022, it’s estimated that podcast listening will grow to 132 million people in the United States, which is extremely positive.
The top countries for podcasting as of March 2019 include Chile, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, and China. Podcasts are the most popular medium in South Korea, with 58% of the population listening to podcasts.
Just in recent days, Joe Rogan has signed an exclusive deal with Spotify, which will see his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, disappear from all other platforms.
The deal is believed to be worth $100m (£82 million), according to the Wall Street Journal.
Joe Rogan’s podcast, which is one of the most popular in the world, will arrive on the streaming giant (Spotify) on September 1st.
It will then be housed on Spotify exclusively by the end of the year and removed from all other podcast platforms.
The team at Seamless Entertainment believe podcast is a great medium and positive way to express your individual or company message, with Joe Rogan working with Spotify from September.
In a funny way, we see this as a positive and not a negative for all independent artists, musicians and bands moving forward.
With Music, Film, TV, Comedy and Tech the most popular podcast in US households. With music, showing 61.1 million households being big fans.
With TV/Movies the second most popular podcast with 60.5 million households.
