More than 80% of podcast listeners are staying engaged through the entire length of episodes — a powerful reminder that podcasting isn’t just surviving, it’s thriving. This kind of deep listener commitment proves the unique connection podcasts build between hosts and audiences. Even with a slight dip in episode publishing this June, listener retention has been climbing, underscoring the staying power of podcasting. In an age of digital distractions, few mediums hold attention like podcasts do. It’s clear: the podcast audience is loyal, engaged, and growing — and there’s never been a better time to be part of it.
