Crime Pays - for Podcasts
True crime is the most common subject of the top-ranked podcasts in the U.S., a new study has found. According to the Pew Research Center report, more than a third of adult podcast listeners say they regularly listen to podcasts about true crime. Other findings of the study include:
- American women are almost twice as likely as men to listen to true crime podcasts.
- Listeners with less formal education are more likely to choose podcasts about true crime than those with college degrees.
- Podcasts about true crime are more popular with younger listeners than older listeners.
While the top-ranked podcasts focus on true crime, topics including comedy, entertainment, and pop culture are more popular among listeners in general.
