The latest edition of Edison Research‘s Infinite Dial report found that podcasts have reached an unprecedented level of saturation in the United States, where more than half of consumers above the age of 11 have now watched at least one video podcast.Infinite Dial is the longest-running annual report covering digital media trends in the United States. To glean insights about the habits of American media consumption, Edison Research surveyed 5,020 people split across three age brackets: 12 to 34, 35 to 54, and 55 and up.The results of that data-gathering effort show that several digital media formats are reaching more consumers than ever before. 79% of respondents listen to online audio on a monthly basis. 34% of those listeners use Spotify most often, compared to 21% for YouTube Music.Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary Bring ‘The Video Archives’ Podcast to the Stage: Inside the Raucous Live Taping and Surprise ‘No Way Out’ ScreeningSource: Variety https://variety.com/2025/film/news/quentin-tarantino-roger-avary-video-archives-podcast-live-1236358067/In a lively event, filmmakers Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary brought their popular podcast, "The Video Archives," to the stage. The live taping was filled with energy and featured a surprise screening of the classic film "No Way Out." Fans were treated to an engaging discussion that highlighted the duo's insights into film history and their personal experiences in the industry. The event showcased Tarantino and Avary's chemistry and passion for cinema, making it a memorable experience for attendees. Overall, the live podcast taping was a celebration of film culture, marked by humor and nostalgia.Filed under things we’ve been talking aboutFrom the Fireside Bloghttps://blog.fireside.fm/should-you-make-an-audio-or-video-podcast-or-both/In today's digital landscape, the choice between audio and video podcasts is becoming increasingly significant for creators. According to Kirk McElhearn's article on the Fireside Blog, audio podcasts are easier to produce, distribute, and consume. They require minimal equipment and allow listeners to engage while multitasking—whether at home, commuting, or working out. The production process is straightforward, with smaller file sizes that facilitate quick uploads.On the other hand, video podcasts are gaining traction, with a notable percentage of listeners preferring platforms like YouTube. However, they demand more complex production, including quality lighting and sound, as well as careful editing to maintain viewer engagement. While video can enhance the experience by providing visual context, it is less convenient for listeners who may not be able to watch at all times.Creators might consider producing both formats. This dual approach can maximize reach and engagement, as video content tends to perform well in search engines, while audio can be distributed across traditional podcast platforms. However, podcasters should weigh the time and effort required for video production against the potential benefits.Filed under Congratulations!Source: Transistor (Our Podcast host!)https://transistor.fm/about/In today's tech news, Transisto
