Reading guide
Robin notes that podcasts have been popular in Taiwan for several years. His personal impression is that, just as Netflix’s rise pushed traditional cable television companies around the world into retreat, on-demand podcasts could shake up traditional radio. They could also create a larger, entirely new business model for audio creators, including audiobook content. The future still offers much to imagine. This is a personal impression and analogy, not a market statistic.
Key points
- Analogy: Netflix versus traditional cable television; podcasts versus traditional radio.
- On-demand listening may shake up the traditional radio market.
- It may create a larger business model for audio creators, including audiobooks.
