One of the keys to success for content creators and producers in the podcasting industry is understanding the podcast listening audience. To that end, we are proud to share some data from the Black Podcast Listener Report 2.0 fromEdison Research with SXM Media and Mindshare USA:
43% of the Black 18+ population in the U.S. are monthly podcast listeners. That number is five points higher than the number of the overall 18+ population who report monthly podcast listening, 38%. It’s also up from 36% of the Black U.S. population 18+ who said they listened to a podcast in the last month in 2021.
The percentage of the 18+ Black population who are monthly podcast listeners has increased nine points from 2020 to 2022, outpacing the growth among the total U.S. population.
