Not really, They're as out of touch as the folks who only get their news from podcasts. No-one ever lies or makes up stories on those do they?
In fairness to the older journalists, they have seen a lot of things come and go. Everything is the new thing that will upend the world until something else comes along. So it all begins to look like fads. As for news, sure, if people are listening to the BBC Global News podcast, they're getting news from a podcast. If they're listening to Joe Rogan or Theo Von they're getting something else entirely. The term podcast comprises a lot of things.
Fair point, but calling podcasts a fad in 2025 is like calling the internet a phase. At some point, denial just becomes nostalgia.
The sheer amount of podcasts out there, I think it’s safe to say that some will be a fad. The overall concept of podcasts is probably here to stay. Talk radio in a new format. It’s all coming full circle!
Exactly. It is not a fad, it is reincarnated radio with better microphones and worse attention spans.
I believe it's billion dollar industry. And one of the most common ways that people are getting their news and entertainment these days. Discrediting that to me just seems a little bit silly at this point.
Right? You cannot call something a fad when it has ad revenue bigger than most newspapers’ entire budgets
Not in my experience. 15 years ago, that may have held true. Now podcasts are so ubiquitous I think almost everyone follows at least one.
If anything, podcasts are too permanent. I cannot escape them. Even plumbers have podcasts now.
Completely agree. The audience has moved on, but some still treat new formats like a threat instead of an evolution. Podcasts are not a fad, they are the new front page.
The new front page and the new therapy session. Every journalist I know is one mic away from oversharing professionally.
