“…Despite the podcasts' rapid development from the aspects of technology innovation, creativity, and user growth in the last decade, scientific researches on the activity of listening to podcasts are relatively minimum (Markman, 2015). Based on the literature study related to the current research result, there are two research tendencies of podcasts.…”

Podcast becomes one of the digital media close with urban youth. People listen to it when they are on their way, doing an assignment, and spending leisure time. As new media content developing nowadays, there is only a little research on podcasts in Indonesia. Research results on podcasts released by the media, research agencies, and streaming platform companies discuss majorly on volume, profile, and access habit of audience. Nevertheless, there is no research investigating the youth's reason for choosing podcasts compared to other media. Hence, this research aimed to identify and present the motivation underlying the urban youth preference on podcasts. This research framework was compiled based on the typology of digital media motivation in uses and gratifications theory, namely educating entertainment or edutainment, storytelling, social, and multi-tasking. This research employed a quantitative and positivist paradigm approach. The research respondents were college students who were still accessing podcasts in the last three months. Eventually, the research result identified a significant effect among four types of motivation for using podcasts. In addition, this research result also proved that the typology model of motivation for using new media could explain the reasons underlying the urban youth in using podcasts. Reviewing the close correlation between the urban youth and podcasts, this research also identified the potential of using podcasts in the education realm.

“…Although podcast use has increased significantly in recent years (Edison, 2021), few systematic studies of how and why adult listeners engage with podcasts have been undertaken (Markman, 2015). In their analysis, Perks and Turner (2019) noted that podcasts, compared to their radio program predecessors, enable greater control over both the content to which one chooses to listen (e.g., which podcast, which episode, for how long) and what else one might choose to do while listening (e.g., commuting, doing chores, relaxing).…”

Leisure reading confers significant benefits to children in both social and academic domains. However, the number of children who read for pleasure is decreasing and has been recently shown to drop off significantly between the ages of 8 and 9. Despite the rising popularity of audiobooks and podcasts, research on children listening to spoken stories remains in its infancy. Thus, the present study explores how children engage with these novel media. Fifty-two parents of children aged 8-13 years completed an online survey which asked about their children’s listening habits. Results showed that 74% of children listen to spoken stories, with the vast majority (92.5%) listening at least 1-2 times a week. While the survey revealed children are indeed engaging with both podcasts and audiobooks, being read aloud to continues to be the most popular format for story listening in this age group (77.4% of listeners). Across platforms, the genre most frequently listened to was fantasy stories (84.9%; more detailed descriptions of popular themes and sub-themes are described). In sum, access to technology is becoming an increasingly important part of children’s lives. The data described here provide a timely perspective and provide a basis for informed studies of listening engagement in children.

“…Worldwide audience accessibility in combination with online discussion facilities and accessibility without payment make podcasts a compelling tool for discussions about science, emerging topics and future developments. However, scientific discussions concerning this podcast phenomenon have been primarily focused on key aspects of its short history (Bottomley, 2015), reasons and motivations of podcast producers (McClung and Johnson, 2010), audience listening practice (Markman, 2015) and cultural practice of producing and consuming digital sound content (Bonini, 2015), the use of podcasts in education and business (Birch and Weitkamp, 2010;Kay, 2012), as well as the relationship between podcasts to radio and public broadcasting (Sellas, 2012), and the overall digital media potential (Berry, 2016).…”

Purpose The aim of this paper is to gain knowledge in podcast mining as an additional source for Web-based horizon scanning (HS). The paper presents theoretical insights on the potential of podcast mining by exploring topics, which may be relevant in the future, and by reflecting the results against a background of HS approaches. The study provides a preliminary overview by presenting an exemplary list of podcast shows for further research. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses an exploratory quantitative content analysis, which was conducted on the basis of 30 topics deemed to be relevant in the future and which were identified in the field of applied science. Based on these topics, podcasts and episodes were identified which address future-oriented topics and were discussed in terms of range of content. Findings The findings indicate that future-oriented topics are addressed in podcasts. However, differences in dynamics and range of content of the podcasts concerned highlight the necessity of identifying a list of suitable podcasts according to the specific scanning focus and the dynamics of each future-oriented topics. Originality/value While a growing number of podcast studies have already noted the importance of podcasts as a key medium, for example, educational processes and media sciences, no detailed explanation of podcast mining as a tool for the purposes of HS has been published. The review therefore makes an original contribution to this field, highlighting areas where future research is needed.
