Research findings on podcasts
Recent looked at 723 podcasts across 13 categories, providing nearly 10,000 data points.
- As of March 2024, the tracks 798 podcasts, a significant number for a country of just over five million people. Created in late 2018, the directory reflects the growing prominence of podcasts in New Zealand's media landscape.
- The first decade of podcast production in New Zealand was driven mainly by independent producers, with media organisations joining in from 2015 onwards.
- The first highly produced podcast in New Zealand by NZME debuted ‘Mad Monday’, NRL a rugby league podcast, in September 2015, a time where narrative non-fiction dominated the genres. This was followed by RNZ releasing ‘First Person’ later in the year.
- The most popular style of podcasts (41%) in NZ follows an interview format, reflecting its popularity globally - most likely due to its lower barrier to entry compared to narrative non-fiction podcasts.
- The number of new NZ podcasts peaked in 2020, consistent with global trends, and the average number of episodes produced per podcast is 68.5.
