It seems that podcasts are slowly but surely becoming the most popular medium on the internet. According to bitkom, almost a third of people living in Germany listened to podcasts last year. In the target group of 16 to 29-year-olds, it was even over 35% of people living in Germany who regularly listen to their favourite show. And the trend is still rising.
Publishing a podcast is not difficult - all you need is a microphone, a recording device and an internet connection to later upload the audio files as an episode to a podcast library and publish them on the desired platform. This allows not only media companies or famous personalities like Schulz and Böhmermann to produce a show, but also private individuals to produce episodes. The topics and categories are wide-ranging - from politics to philosophy, small talk with guests, entertainment, education and many other genres, the podcast landscape extends. Podcatchers such as Spotify or the Apple podcast app provide you with the latest episodes from popular podcast shows such as Hotel Matze, Herrengedeck, Fest & Flauschig or Zeit Verbrechen.
One reason for the increasing popularity of podcasts on Spotify, iTunes and co. is probably the comparatively easy accessibility of the content. The episodes can be listened to at any time without much effort, which is particularly practical for many people during "idle times". Whether it's while exercising, cooking, cleaning, relaxing or simply falling asleep - the conversations and lectures in the radio-like audio format are omnipresent and an everyday companion for many listeners.
However, since podcasts are very topic-related, it is difficult to make a general statement about the right podcast for exciting entertainment. Depending on the area of interest, very different podcast categories can be relevant and exciting.
