"A character in some TV show joked that 'Opinions are like podcasts - everyone's got one, and nobody wants to listen to yours'. It does seem like that at times. Such is their preponderance that frequently, on setting up their own podcast, people ironically joke that there are too many already."
"It's particularly true for those who already work in media: someone loses their current main gig in telly or radio and, almost for want of any better idea, announce their forthcoming podcast."
The podcast landscape has become saturated, with countless shows launching regularly. Media professionals frequently turn to podcasting as a fallback option after losing television or radio positions. Despite the oversupply and common jokes about podcast abundance, the medium continues to attract new creators. Successful podcasts ultimately succeed by delivering what audiences fundamentally want from the format, regardless of market saturation. The irony persists that while people acknowledge too many podcasts exist, they continue creating and consuming them.
