According to a Pew Research Center survey about a quarter of U.S. adults (23%) say they get news at least sometimes or often from podcasts. 16% say sometimes, 7% say often. 56% say they never get their news from podcasts.
The survey was conducted in July 2021. The numbers are relatively stable compared with those reported in 2020.
The study says some groups are more likely than others to get news from podcasts. One-in-three adults ages 18 to 29 say they at least sometimes get news from podcasts, compared with 12% of adults 65 and older. About three-in-ten adults ages 30 to 49 (29%) get news from podcasts at least sometimes; nearly one-in-five adults ages 50 to 64 (18%) say they do the same.
Men and women get news from podcasts at similar rates (25% and 21%, respectively).
About a quarter of both Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican Party, as well as Democrats and Democratic leaners, get news from podcasts (23% and 24%, respectively).
