With debates about what podcasting is and is not finally settling in the wake of the medium\u2019s second great surge which began in late 2014, the moment is right to ask theoretical and practical questions about its future: What does podcasting\u2019s exponential growth in recent years mean for programme discovery, serendipitous and methodical? Will audiences continue to relate differently (sympathetically) to podcast advertising? What might some of the pitfalls be for efforts to build paywalls in the podcast space?\u00a0 If intimacy and authenticity are the two key traits of the most successful podcasts (even with varying definitions of \u201csuccess\u201d in mind), what future roles might public broadcasting institutions have vis-\u00e0-vis podcasting? What are the creative and social implications for corporate encroachment (if that is what is happening) into the podcast space? While the hype around podcasting metrics and numbers seems unavoidable, to what extent are these figures real and genuinely valuable in helping us understand the audio media revolution that is podcasting\u2014particularly in the ways listeners use and generate meaning from the programmes? What are the assumptions involved in seeking a podcast super-hit and how might they be flawed? Might there even be podcasts that no one is meant to listen to? Does the recent increase in podcast consumption per capita signal any changes in broader social and cultural attitudes? And to what extent might our increase in podcast listening be changing the way we actually hear other audio (radio, speeches, conversations, music, etc.)?
