The radio that is baked into the car is easy to use, comes with a lifetime of habituation, and provides good enough content (music, talk radio) for the overwhelming majority of people.Blend that with the fact that most individual rides are not that long, and bothering with a podcast (or audiobook) is just not worth it for most people.Edison Research unveiled some data about in-car audio. Podcasting appeared to be part of the "other" category, at less than 4% of all audio listened-to in the car.https://mediaconfidential.blogspot.com/2018/09/radio-show-radio-sharing-tsl-with-more.html- Coming Events Spreaker will be at:Next Event: Rain Summit Canada - Toronto - Oct 10th, 2018NAB NYC - Oct 17-18, 2018 - Booth N264https://www.nabshowny.com/Vancouver Podcast Festival - November 8-10, 2018 - https://www.vanpodfest.ca/programming-announcementPodcon.com in Seattle - Jan 19-20, 2019 - Large event- Listener Comments & Questions:Linda IrwinI changed my profile picture.
