Podcasts offer an eclectic selection of topics. From true crime mysteries and technology trends to self improvement and motivation, there’s a podcast for every interest.

This diversity allows individuals to tailor their listening experience to suit their moods and needs. “Listening to podcasts has become a morning routine for me, some days it is with my morning cup of coffee or tea, or while doing my mundane tasks like walking,” said Karishma Sanghi, an event manager.

Podcasts have become an accessible platform to receive all kinds of content from news, gaming, and entertainment to laughter. This accessibility has also led to many people joining in to start a podcast. Among many podcast hosts, Indian podcasters have gained popularity across the world. Some of them are ‘Maed in India’ by Mae Thomas, ‘Indian Noir’ by Nikesh Murali, ‘On Purpose’ with Jay Shetty, and others.

“One of my favourite podcasts is the Ranver Show, which speaks about entrepreneurship, motivation, fitness, and a lot more, and ‘Figuring Out with Raj Shamani’, which is about growing businesses and brands,” added Karishma.

Podcasts offer a deeper level of engagement compared to traditional media, as listeners form a more personal connection with hosts and topics. Furthermore, they are a valuable learning resource, providing insights from experts, thought leaders, and enthusiasts on various subjects. The coffee and podcast combination is likely to remain a popular routine among citizens.

With the rise in the number of people tuning in, there might be a change in lifestyle among the listeners.
