Ars Technica brings us 10 years of podcasting: Code, comedy, and patent lawsuits
While podcasting hasn't yet become as massive as other media, it's made its mark on the popular culture landscape despite being the baby of the group. A 2014 study from Pew Research shows that podcasting appears to have leveled off after its first decade the number of Americans who have "ever" listened to an audio podcast was down slightly from 29 percent in 2012 to 27 percent in 2013. Today, fifteen percent of the United States population still listens to podcasts weekly, according to a survey of over 2,000 Americans by Edison Research. If true, that would be around 48 million people in the US alone.

An interesting idea - but the answer would depend on what value the podcast is to me. So, if the content was technical, preferably science and IT related, and not too time sensitive then I would certainly subscribe. But as some of the stories on SN are now leaving technology and moving into new territory (and I'm an editor, but that is what the community seems to go for) then I am not interested in a podcast of similar material - any number of news sites can provide me with up-to-the-minute news reporting on such topics.
