"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 medium has become oversaturated, with countless shows launching regularly. Many media professionals who lose television or radio positions turn to podcasting as a default alternative. Despite jokes about podcast abundance and the difficulty of standing out, successful podcasts accomplish their core function well. The medium's accessibility and low barriers to entry contribute to its proliferation, though this saturation doesn't diminish the value of well-executed shows that deliver what audiences expect from the format.
