The market demand is satisfied by like ~250 podcasts the same way that there are about that many TV shows or fewer. The difference is that unlike TV shows, which cost a lot to make, amateur podcasts are very cheap to produce so there are a lot of people just doing it not because it's profitable but because they had nothing better to do during the pandemic. Now that we're past that phase people are over making new podcasts.

As a point of reference, I've been an avid podcast lister since the beginning, and I've never subscribed to any of the high-profile shows.
