Pew Internet Research: Adoption Rate and Popularity of Podcasts Increasing

Authored by Jay Baage on November 22, 2006 - 1:04pm.
Some 12% of Internet users surveyed by Pew Internet & America Life Project now say that they have downloaded a podcast so that they can listen to it or view it at a later time. This is a big increase from the February-April study when the number was just 7%. The significant gain is attributable to the increase in the number of owners of MP3 players (iPods and the like) and the growing number of organizations that offer podcasts. However, only a few people listen to podcasts frequently, only 1% of the people in the survey say that they download and listen to podcasts every day.
