• Video and podcasting can work really well together - when promoting each other, says new research from Sounds Profitable and Owl & Co. 16% of podcast listeners have purchased a streaming subscription after hearing about a show they want to watch - and 44% of listeners to a podcast about a TV show or movie talk to their friends about the TV show.
• The Daily reaches twice as many listeners as Joe Rogan, according to Podscribe’s rankings for the month of October 2025.
