Red Table Talk:
The Red Table Talk podcast is the audio version of the Talk Show aired on major social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. This podcast covers current social and cultural issues with an inter-generational perspective hosted by three generations of black women. They open their home for a series of candid conversations with family and friends about the most important and provocative topics of the day. This podcast is built on open conversations with different guests covering different and interesting subjects and topics that keep the audiences hooked. There could be many guests at one time and more hosts, all sparking up conversations from the scripted questions set.
The format is scripted and sticks to the subject matter in an open discussion format. This podcast is targeted across all adult age groups and genders and reels in millions of viewers and listeners.
The Joe Rogan Experience:
This is an interview podcast but is a long form of conversation with interesting guests on different types of topics and subjects that the public and listeners would be interested in. This is a free audio and video podcast available to listen on Spotify or watch on YouTube.
The podcast has some element of comedy in every episode but the versatility of the conversations is not the typical type of interview style.
The format of the podcast is unpredictable because it doesn’t have a format to follow but seems to go with the flow of the conversation and sometimes the conversations do turn heated but then can quickly turn into humour. This is unscripted and the host asks different random questions to spark conversation.
The tone of this podcast is in a very relaxed manner of conversation, but they do talk over each other in a passionate but positive way. This podcast is aimed at mainly adults because it has mature themes discussed by famous and interesting people.
This podcast is a storytelling podcast hosted by a comedian and actor who reads a different episode from one of the famous Puffin books. The format is followed by the story of the book but with an interesting twist of fun comedic voices of the book characters. The host is also teamed up with other storytellers who create voices with the characters they are telling. Each week they’re joined by one of the Puffin authors. This podcast is aimed at children and sometimes can
Interestingly, 32% of podcast fans aged 18 and older have listened to podcasts while driving. This marks a slight increase compared to the 30% registered last year. The number of people who listen to podcasts at home has also increased to 59%.
- White 59%
- Hispanic 16%
- African American 16%
- Asian 3%
- Others 6%
The time of day people listen to podcasts can have a lesser impact on listener behaviour than frequency. After all, if you’re releasing new episodes at midnight, you’re not going to reach as many people as you would if you release them at midday.
This graph shows when people would listen to podcasts and where they would listen to them. Most people listen to podcasts when they are at home relaxing or whist going for a walk. Research tells us that 63% of people listen to podcasts whist they are at home relaxing. I will be planning to do a podcast about tackling mental health amongst young adults. How young adults can overcome and battle this condition in today’s society. I’m hoping all young people will listen to this important podcast whilst either at home or out with their friends.
This graph shows you the target audience of podcasts and what age group listen to them the most. 38% of 26-35 years listen to podcasts the most. This graph clearly shows that the podcasts are more popular to the younger generation.
The most popular show to post the podcast on would be iHeartRadio with the highest numbers.Posting the podcast on youtube would be better it would reach out to larger audiences and more people would view it. Especially with mine which has to do with Mental health.
