Insights from Infinite Dial 2024, Smart Speakers in Australia, and Global Radio Trends

E21 • Jul 8, 2024 • 12 mins

In this episode, we delve into the Infinite Dial 2024 Australia report, examining radio's strong engagement and in-car listening trends, and the growth of smart speaker ownership. We highlight the International Women’s Podcast Festival, including the lineup and key sessions. We also cover the launch of the “A Drop a Day” program in Italy by RLV La Radio a Colori. Finally, we discuss the decline of AM radio in Europe and ongoing efforts to maintain its relevance in the United States.

Key Points

  • Radio remains the dominant audio medium in Australia, with over 80% of Australians tuning in, significantly outperforming ad-supported streaming services like Spotify.
  • The International Women's Podcast Festival in London will feature a diverse lineup of speakers and workshops aimed at empowering female innovators and leaders in the podcasting industry.
  • The decline of AM radio in Europe continues as countries phase out their transmitters, driven by audience migration to FM and digital platforms, higher operational costs, and environmental concerns.
