Podcast Resources for Archivists

---

Abstract

Millions of Americans have traded music for podcasts to fill in the daily commute, chores, and long walks. Unlike broadcast radio, podcasts offer listeners a wide variety of on-demand programming from exquisite storytelling, to three friends chatting about movies, to in-depth social critique, to educational histories of a region, and so much more. Podcasts are also revered for being an exceptionally accessible medium for potential creators, as producers, agents, or gatekeepers are not required. The most obscure of subjects find audiences and the most marginalized of voices are heard. Listening will only grow; according to Edison Research’s The Infinite Dial 2017 report, monthly listeners of podcasts are growing from 21 to 24 percent each year.
