Question: I was just in a meeting where the consensus was that podcasts are just a fad and are going to go away. ??? I couldn’t believe it bc I know so many ppl who get their current events info from podcasts. Are my colleagues out of touch? Or am I?

Great podcasters aren't going anywhere; learning, debating, etc. never go out of style! I predict Colbert will have a podcast soon and make even more money lol!

Lol!

I don't think it's a fad in the sense that asynchronous media isn't going anywhere. People listening to something when they want to, not when it's on TV or the radio, that's sticking around. I do believe there's going to be a big shake-out in podcasts. Then again, even allowing for how dumbed down society has become, I can't believe people have the time and patience to listen to some of the boring knuckleheads who are podcasting stars.

PS who are the knuckleheads?

I don't feel like that is true. More and more podcasts are coming out daily. I don't see podcasts going anywhere anytime soon.

I agree!

Rather than fight it agree with them that it is a fad one that is in its infancy and going to be around for a long time, still, it is still at the beginning of the bell curve and an mass of opportunity to exploit it. And leverage the benefits and massive exposure one gets from it through marketing, an awareness. Just like facebook, /meta is a fad, yet millions are spent on it in advertising. As it is the latest and best FAD ... for reaching a mass audience

Thanks!

Definitely not a fad!!! People LOVE their podcasts. It’s like adults need someone to read to them like children do or something. If that makes sense. I love hearing various viewpoints and subject matter experts. It’s no different than audio books but with on the fly commentary.

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations. Older companies do whatever they can to pay you the least amount and get the max work out of you. Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
