Spotify released their first ever fan study for podcasts. This report covers listener trends to help podcasters make informed decisions about their content. For every finding in the report, they list a suggested action you could take to benefit from the trend. For example, they note that audiences may have a more complex listening palette than you think.

The Future of Podcasting is Multicultural

AnnaDeShawn @AnnaDeShawn

It's #InternationalPodcastDay & I'm really excited to be in conversation with some of the dopest women in #podcasting. Thank you @BIPOCcreators for creating this space for us @mj_akosua @sheqonomi @latinapodntw This is going to be so good @TangiaRenee & @Maribel_QS! Thank you!

One of many great sessions presented by International Podcast Day

This panel was moderated by Maribel Quezada Smith and Tangia Renee Estrada and featured Anna DeShawn, Anu Bhardwaj, Rita Bautista, and Molly Jensen. The panel discussed what the multicultural future of podcasting will look like, why it’s so important to keep the industry progressing towards this, and how to make it happen.

Quotes:

Something that I feel really passionately about is making sure that we’re able to be in the room. It’s not just being spoken about in rooms that you’re not in. It’s showing up and taking up space. - Molly Jensen, Afripods

The reason storytelling is so incredibly important is because history is often written by whoever is considered the victor. That means oftentimes we are left out of the stories and our history is not told. And podcasting is such an amazing way for oral histories to live forever. - Anna DeShawn, E3 Radio and The Qube
