WHY PODCAST?

Educate

​Podcast listeners are highly engaged and Podcasts have become a regular and trusted source of news, entertainment and information for millions of listeners around the world.

 

Podcasting is now very much a mainstream medium that plays an essential role in the advertising and marketing strategies of thousands of businesses. 

​

Connected Audio, audio consumption that can only be listened to by a device with an internet connection, has been a particular area of growth over the last few years as people continue to desire their listening preferences stored on their devices and accessible with a single touch.

​

As well as Podcasts, Connected Audio includes listening to Audiobooks, On Demand Music, Catch Up Radio and Live Radio via smartphone, computers, games consoles, wearable tech, media players and smart speakers.
