It seems as if people couldn\u2019t stop talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI) in 2025. New AI tools and technologies have emerged in almost every space and audio is no different, even spoken-word audio such as podcasts. But to what extent are podcast consumers currently engaging with AI narrated podcasts? This finding, and more, were recently shared in Edison Research\u2019s Top 10 Findings of 2025<\/a> webinar.<\/p>\n

According to Edison Podcast Metrics in 2025, 22% of U.S. weekly podcast consumers 13+ have ever listened to a podcast narrated by an artificially or AI generated voice. While we don\u2019t have this information trended over time, it\u2019s safe to say that this number has likely grown dramatically over the past year or so. How things will look in the future is less clear. We know from our qualitative that podcast listeners deeply value the human and intimate nature of podcasting, so it will be interesting to see how the advent of AI voices will affect the space. that podcast listeners deeply value the human and intimate nature of podcasting, so it will be interesting to see how the advent of AI voices will affect the space.<\/p>\n
