Tom Webster, Edison Research SVP said, “What is fascinating about these data is that we are seeing some marked differences between people who primarily get their podcasts through Apple Podcasts, those who primarily use Spotify, and those who mainly use YouTube. The character of the shows – and of the audiences – differs by platform.”
