I just got an email from the good people over at Edison Research about a report that they did for the Blogworld New Media Expo on October 15 of this year in Vegas. Since it was a special day for my family I couldn’t get away but I’m glad that the the Edison Research people put the presentation online.

In case you have some trouble viewing it here are the high points (via Edison Research of course).
Principal findings of the study included:
- The percentage of Americans who have ever watched or listened to a podcast is 45%, up from 43% one year ago. This equates to approximately 70 million Americans 12+.
- The podcast audience has migrated from being predominantly “early adopters” to more closely resembling mainstream media consumers.
- Podcast consumers continue to prefer consuming content at their desktop, not on dedicated media players, but mobile phone media consumption is surging.
- Podcast consumers index very highly for social networking behaviors
- Two-thirds of podcast consumers have listened to digital audio files in their vehicles by connecting an iPod or other MP3 player to their car audio system.
