Podcasts vs radio: Time spent metrics favor both by age (Edison Research)
"The dominance of podcast listening among younger age cohorts can certainly be attributed to their preference for on-demand content that also includes visual elements, qualities specific to podcasts and not radio."
"AM/FM Radio maintains appeal through sports, NPR, news and entertainment talk shows, and political talk, particularly resonating with the 55+ population who favor traditional radio by an even wider margin than younger audiences prefer podcasts."
Audio consumption patterns vary significantly across age groups. Younger listeners aged 13-24 demonstrate strong preference for podcasts, driven by demand for on-demand content with visual elements. The 55+ demographic favors traditional AM/FM radio, attracted to sports programming, NPR, news and entertainment talk shows, and political talk. These divergent preferences reflect generational differences in media consumption habits and content delivery preferences. The study acknowledges limitations, noting it does not encompass the complete audio landscape, excluding SiriusXM and audiobooks from analysis.
