Running from Blue Monday- 30 January, the Great Winter Get Together is the Jo Cox Foundation’s annual campaign to reduce the stigma of loneliness.
It’s been another amazing year for podcasts. According to Statistica, 16.61 million people listened to a podcast in the UK this year, up from 15.61 in 2020. Both Spotify and Apple Podcasts have heavily invested in their podcast platforms by introducing subscription options for creators looking to monetise their content. This all signals a recognition that podcasts are an area that brands can invest in and reap the rewards of an engaged audience that actually listens and responds to embedded advertising.
We’re currently in a golden age of podcasting. The pandemic, which threatened to kill off the ‘listener-commuter’ demographic actually gave podcast fans more time to listen to their favourite shows. This translated into a 13% increase in total podcast listening in the UK. Platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts have put real investment into helping creators make quality work that actually gets them paid. There really has never been a better time for charities to utilise podcasts as part of their overall communications plan.
