Podcasts growing in traffic, revenue

Cory Bergman February 4th, 2008

Who you calling a fad? A study by eMarketer projects exponential growth in the podcasting audience — from 18.5 million last year to 65 million in 2012 — along with a steady growth in revenue. “The revenue figures will bring a smile to any VC firm with investments in the sector,” writes TechCrunch. “Advertising in 2007 hit $165 million and is expected to grow to $435 million in 2012.”

    wow! I’m sure everyone expects growth but those numbers are insane. VC firms who don’t have investments in that sector are on the hunt now, I’m sure.

    I canceled my print subscription to the Wall Street Journal yesterday, largely because I prefer their website, but also because of their daily “WSJ This Morning” podcast via iTunes.
