• The Infinite Dial Australia 2025 was released by Edison Research and CRA, showing that podcasting is now a mainstream media in Australia, joining the US and UK. 52% of Australians listen to a podcast every month, beating the UK (51%), and approaching the US (55%).
  • The data also shows that more than a third of Australians listen to podcasts in the car, compared with 50% who are music streaming, and 84% listening to the radio.
• Meanwhile, the Digital News Report for Australia was also released from the University of Canberra. Among the data held in the report is a chapter on podcasting: 9% of Australians say they use podcasts for news in the past week (that figure rises to 16% for 35-44 year-olds); and among news podcast listeners, 82% say that podcasts help them understand issues better than other types of media; and 59% are willing to pay for news podcasts - the highest figure in the world (the US is at 46%).
• Apple Podcasts appears to not be ingesting transcripts for new shows. We’re sure they’ll fix it soon.
