It was a breakout year for podcasting in 2019—and there’s more to come. In the last year, Spotify made major waves by dipping more into the podcast industry with a redesign of the app to give podcasts “nearly equal footing” as music, acquisitions of podcast studios, and plans to have non-music content account for 20% of listening on the platform in coming years. As young listeners continue to tune in, YPulse predicts that podcasting will grow even more in 2020, as more big players, including Facebook, Marvel, and Netflix, continue to invest in their audio offerings.
