The Best Golf Podcasts (2024 Update)
The growth in podcasts has been increasing for a number of years, and we’ve not yet seen the peak of the possible listeners. Podcasts insights show that there are now over 2 million podcasts! This is amazing considering in the recent podcasts insights report there were only 850,000 podcasts available. This is good news if you’re an avid listener of podcasts because you’ll have a huge amount of content to consume. However, not great news if you’re planning on starting your own podcast as competition is tough! As our article was so popular last year we’ve spent some time reviewing and re-ranking the Best Golf Podcasts you need to listen to this year!
For golf fans this is great news, with a growing number of golf related podcasts there are even more ways for you to immerse yourself in this amazing game.
In the Podcast Trends Report there were some really interesting statistics. This report indicated that listeners were now spending even more time consuming podcasts and that this had grown significantly in the last three years. We’ve seen a huge increase in the number of podcasts out on the market, so we’ve taken some time to review and list the best golf podcasts so that you can find your perfect playlist.
The report showed that podcast listeners listen to an average of at least 7 shows each week, up from 5 last year. Also over 21% of listeners were subscribed to 70 different podcasts. Also it showed that 94% of podcast listeners are subscribed to at least one social media channel compared to 81% for the entire population. Finally for any budding podcasters, the insights report showed that Comedy is the most popular podcasting genre.
If you don’t podcast you’re missing out!
