  &lt;p&gt;Other stats include: &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;The audience for podcasts is up by 18% from a year ago. In 2006, 11% of those surveyed listened to audio podcasts; in 2007, the number was 13% &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Podcast awareness has grown in the last year,&#160;from 22% to 37%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Video podcast use is up by 10%, from 10% to 11% &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;em&gt;The podcast audience:&lt;/em&gt;
  &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;49% are female, 51% male. Age distribution is relatively even also, with more 55+ listeners than in the 18-24 age group&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Podcast users are twice as likely to have incomes over $100,000 and nearly twice as likely to have incomes between $75,000 and $100,000&#160;&#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Podcast users&#160;were 36% more likely&#160;than others to have made online purchases, and 4 times as likely to have purchased songs online&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Podcast users spend 50% more time online &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;a href="/blog/864-podvertising-to-grow-despite-few-listeners"&gt;Podcast advertising has been predicted to grow&lt;/a&gt; from $80m in 2006 to $400m in 2011. This makes sense when you&#160;look at&#160;the relatively high incomes of podcast users, and the fact that they are more likely to make online purchases. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The stats come from a poll of 1,855 telephone interviews in January 2007. A study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project last November put the &lt;a href="/blog/564-podcasts-failing-to-catch-on"&gt;US podcast audience at 12%.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Recent UK figures suggested that 8% of the UK population has downloaded a podcast. &lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;Figures from &lt;a href="http://www.edisonresearch.com/2007%20Podcast%20Presentation.pdf"&gt;Edison Media Research&lt;/a&gt; suggest the audience for podcasting is on the rise, and that general awareness of the medium is growing rapidly.&lt;/strong&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The stats, which&#160;were originally presented at the &lt;a href="http://www.podcast-summit.com/"&gt;Corporate Podcasting Summit&lt;/a&gt; in London, show that awareness of podcasting grew by 70%, while actual use increased by only 18%. &lt;/p&gt;
