The top four industries likely to experience revenue growth in the nation over the next four years are OTT video, Internet advertising, video games and e-sports, music, radio, and podcasts, according to results from PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (PwC) Media and Entertainment Outlook 2020 report.
A podcast series typically has one or more recurrent hosts talking about a specific subject or current event. A podcast’s conversation and content might be either meticulously scripted or entirely improvised. Podcasts mix complex and creative sound design with themes that range from cutting-edge science to slice-of-life journalism. Numerous podcasts include a website that includes links, show notes, transcripts, guest biographies, supplementary resources, comments, and even a community forum where listeners may debate the show’s topics.
India has grown to be the third-largest podcast listening market in the world after China and the US, with 57.6 million monthly listeners, the report said. This growth has been fueled by the uptake of music streaming companies and people turning to motivational, spiritual, fun, and fitness content during the lockdown.
