International Podcast Day – There’s a podcast for everyone, from sports and entertainment to cookery and daily news. According to research, 75% of the U.S. population over the age of 12 has listened to internet audio in the last month, and podcasting has reached its peak, with 90 million Americans claiming that they listen to podcasts regularly.

As a pioneer in connected audio technologies, we began sharing our knowledge of all things audio by inviting Music industry legends, such as JBL Ambassadors Martin Garrix and A.R. Rahman, to join us on our Audio Talks podcast and share an insider’s view of the music industry. We’ve explored everything from the possibilities of immersive audio to the impact of social media over the course of seven seasons.
