The high figure compared to other medias need to be put in perspective.
It's possible that a lot of content is just a duplication for different languages.
Where a movie can get subtitles or dubbing, where a music don't need any translation, an English podcast will only be listened by people fluent in English and will need to be adapted for other languages, either by the original podcaster or by a local one without any fear of copyright infringement.
Thus it's hard to directly compare movies, music and podcasts figures together.
- hombre_fatal 6y agoI listen to podcasts in other languages and have never encountered translated podcasts, or rather, I don't think your hunch explains any significant numbers. Edit: I just looked and lost interest before I could find a single example of what you're talking about. You may get spin-offs for other languages like Radio Ambulante (Spanish) for NPR. But that's a whole other podcast in its own right, not a translation. The difference in numbers should be obvious to you: anyone can start a podcast that lands on podcast aggregators, and the production is just recorded voice at minimum. Few people make movies or music that lands on imdb and spotify, and the production is more than just recorded voice at minimum. Why wouldn't you expect podcasts see much higher numbers in its stats?
