That's why I only listen to one by fans of things that are doing it for the fun/love of the subject. Otherwise it's just like listening to radio where there's 3 mins of ads every 15 mins.
I co-host a podcast with one of my best friends. It's a great way to have a creative outlet for me and even tho we are not popular or making money it's really fun. I'm assuming like 80% of that 2.8m figure is just people like us, having fun.
What kind of stuff do you discuss? I guess what I’m trying to ask without sounding like an asshole (bc I’m genuinely curious) but how does the podcast help you creatively? Like are you a musician that discusses different music in the world and that helps you write better songs?
I wonder what the average number of listeners per podcast is... how do you quantify the huge number of podcasts with very few listeners? "Half of all podcast downloads are from the most popular 0.1% of podcasts"
I just wanna say that podcasts originally started as audio only for people with ipods through itunes. Why in the Kentucky fried fuck are people calling everything a podcast? Having a series on YouTube is NOT a podcast. Can we eliminate the word podcast now?
The market became oversaturated with crap podcasts from opportunists thinking people cared about what they have to say

And all advertising the same half dozen shitty products
Twitter has entered the chat
And three worth listening to
That’s partly why I never got into podcasts. Too much effort to find something good.
And which are those in your opinion?
Came to say this very thing.
This means that one in roughly 3000 people has a podcast.
2,798,775 of them are crime podcasts.
So... would you say it's a bad time for me to start a podcast?
We should start a podcast about podcasts
Let me send you the only relevant response to this suggestion.
Starting a podcast with your friends is a modern day equivalent of starting a band with them.
A band is more likely to be successful.
History that doesn't suck is really good for American history, starting with George Washington's childhood and the French and Indian war.

Time Suck is pretty good
The average podcast then has less than 50 episodes. I know of at least 3 that are in the 1000s of episodes so that is pretty bad for the others.
Quantity doesn't equal quality though.
Well, it depends on age of the podcast really, plus the rate that they release new episodes.
Who’s more annoying? Obscure podcast snob or obscure music snob?
Can you be a podcast snob without getting laughed out of the room?

Podcasts were better before they became a low effort celebrity promotional circuit.
Conan needs a friend is so funny. I busted out laughing way too much on my flight.
Turns out you can make one about anything. Nothing is impodable

Unfortunately, I was blessed with a 1200 baud brain.
I have four of those with a combined listening of 3… oh yeah
135 million episodes! And thats just from Joe Rogan!
