Podcasting is becoming mainstream with over 22,000 actively hosted podcasts. In fact, according to the Pew Research Center podcasting has been steadily growing its audience over the past two years. This is largely driven by advances in technology, particularly, the rapid growth in the use of smartphones and mobile devices in addition to the increased ease of in-car listening.
Even more important, the percentage of Americans who listen to a podcast in a month has doubled since 2008, from 9% to 17% by January of 2015. This increased acceptance of podcasting is great news for entrepreneurs, especially crowd funders, who want to maximize their sources for generating media publicity.
BUT WHAT ARE SMART ENTREPRENEURS LISTENING TO?
