Can anyone tell me if young people listen to podcasts? Like people under 16? I found something that suggests 7% of listeners are under 17*... I just wonder with an audience split like that, is it expected that young people will suddenly pick up podcasts when they reach a certain age? Or is it an indicator that the format doesn't appeal to the youngest generation?

Teenagers mostly don't have long commutes, which is where a lot of podcast listening seems to happen.


There's also much less content for teenagers. Not all of them are interested in politics or news, for example, which rules out a significant portion of podcasts.
