Unless you have been living on the moon, you might have noticed that podcasts have become a hugely popular medium for gleaning information, entertainment, interviews and chat on just about any topic.
As a working mother, I get most of my information on the news and other topics I am interested in from podcasts. This medium appeals to me because I can listen to them while on the school run, folding the laundry or cooking. I am even part of a WhatsApp podcast group where we recommend good titles to listen to.
It’s not just me who’s found solace in podcasts. There’s a global community of over 464 million podcast listeners, a number that’s projected to reach 504.9 million by the end of 2024. This staggering figure is a testament to the widespread appeal of podcasts. The average listener spends seven hours per week immersed in their favourite podcast app. And it’s not just the length of the episodes that’s appealing; with most episodes falling between 20-40 minutes, they’re perfectly tailored to our busy schedules and attention spans. It’s a shared interest that brings us together, no matter where we are.
That is why the Tomorrow team has decided to delve into the medium. For those who want Algarve news on the go, this month, we are launching our new podcast, Talk About Tomorrow, presented by yours truly. You will be able to listen to or watch a selection of interviews with some of the Algarve´s most interesting characters through Spotify or YouTube. We will also discuss events, news, and gossip to keep you in touch with the Algarve, whether you live here or are visiting.
