Podcasting in Japan: a deep-dive
Few people listen to podcasts in Japan. Why is that – and what kind of shows could work well in the country?

The Black Listener Report was published by Edison Research with SXM Media and Mindshare. The data suggests that Black Americans are more likely to listen to podcasts monthly (43%) than the total US population (38%) (though less likely to listen weekly).
YouTube’s Head of Podcasting Kai Chuk is to speak today at the Hot Pod Summit in Brooklyn NY. We are expecting an announcement about YouTube’s plans for podcasting.
