The Podcast Explosion: Top 10 Reasons Why

There are many reasons why podcasting is experiencing such incredible growth. Below are ten reasons I find most compelling:

1. Offers on-demand, passionate, and targeted content

Think about the following phrase: With podcasts, you dont have to say NO to something to say YES to podcasts.

What does that mean exactly? Well, podcasts can be consumed while driving, running, folding laundry, walking your dog, exercising, or any number of similar activities that require some semblance of focus.

You dont have to say NO to any of the above activities to say YES to listening to a podcast, and thats why so many people are willing to give 30+ minutes of their time to listen to your show: they are able to be productive with other activities simultaneously!

I remember my commute to and from work (back when I had a JOB). I was starting to wonder how many times one radio station could play Miley Cyrus. How often have we asked ourselves, Do radio stations conspire to all have commercials on at the SAME time?

What if we could walk out the door in the morning excited about our commute to work?

With podcasts, we can.

Lets use a random example to illustrate my point:

Sally is 42 years old, lives in upstate New York, and commutes 45 minutes to work at a green house where she happily spends the next eight hours of her day doing something she loves: gardening.

Sally also has three kids all teenagers and theyre quite demanding, to say the least. Her free time at home is a percentage point below zero, and sometimes that bothers her.

You see, Sally loves all things plant-related, and if it were up to her, shed be studying and learning about gardens with every spare moment. But while shes at work, she is dealing with customers and administrative duties all day, and that leaves her NO time to improve upon her craft.

She knows there are so many things she could be educating herself about if only she had the time. But as soon as Sallys head hits her pillow at night to read, she has about two minutes before its Goodnight, Sally!

Sally has been on the same Better Homes and Gardens page for three weeks.

Sally also slightly resents her 45-minute drive to work each day. Its long, boring, and she gets nothing accomplished.

Over a coffee break one day at work, her co-worker, Vanessa, mentions that she has been listening to a podcast called Griselda the Green Thumb.

Whats a Podcast? Sally asks in honest bewilderment. Five minutes later, Sally is in love.

The next morning, Sally jumps in her car, and before she even turns on her seat heater she has episode #1 pumping through her eight car speakers. Forty-five joyful minutes later, Sally is letting her car idle in the parking lot so she can scribble down some notes about petunias and daisies.

Sally has discovered the wonderful world of podcasting, and her car rides, walks, and workout sessions will never be the same.

2. Its free

When you listen to podcasts, youre hearing from experts who are sharing advice and insights in what feels like a one-on-one session. Were this truly the case, it would cost you thousands of dollars every time you listened to one.

Podcast hosts and interviewees can afford (literally and figuratively) to give this incredible advice away for free because they are reaching hundreds if not thousands of eager ears, allowing them to become authority figures to a huge audience who is growing to know, like, and trust them.

As the content continues to be dispensed, the audience continues to grow because they are getting great, actionable, highly-valued content for free. A win-win!

3. Accessible from Smartphones

Smartphones, Wi-Fi, 4G networks, iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, Stitcher Radio - theyve all allowed people around the world to consume streaming, online content with the swipe of a finger. With a smartphone in your pocket, downloading and streaming podcasts has never been easier, and your little white ear buds have never been so tangled.

4. Readily available on tablets

Ok, when my 88-year-old grandmother told me her most favorite possession in the world was her iPad, I realized that weve now entered a new era.
