Written by Shams | Feb 2, 2024 9:50:00 AM

Podcasting has reshaped how audiences engage with information. It offers a convenient and immersive experience and provides a platform for diverse voices and niche discussions across various industries. This shift reflects a broader trend toward accessible and on-the-go content consumption, emphasising the power of storytelling and knowledge-sharing through sound.

Like the rest of the world, podcasting is on the rise in the UAE, with the medium garnering a lot of attention across various sectors and industries. According to research, one in every ten Arab youth listens to podcasts. This highlights that podcasts aren’t an emerging industry, but quickly becoming an established industry in the region.

The Rise of Podcasting:

Whether listeners are commuting, cooking, or just chilling — instead of staring at a screen, they are plugged into a podcast. It's easy, it's personal, and it has changed the way people connect with content. Podcasts have become the go-to for multitaskers, turning routine moments into chances for learning and entertainment.

And it’s not just confined to media moguls anymore. It's spreading its influence to all corners of business. Companies are using podcasts for internal communication, making work culture more vibrant. Thought leaders are seizing the opportunity to share insights with a global audience. From tech to healthcare, industries are finding new ways to speak up and engage with their audiences - both internal and external.
