On Friday, April 17, 2020, Apple Podcasts surpassed 1 million valid podcasts in their catalog. So have we reached “peak podcast”? Is it too late to start a podcast? Will your podcast only be lost in the sea of over 1 million other podcasts?

1. Saturation is a matter of perspective

Listen to “There Are Now More than 800,000 Podcasts and More Industry Stats” for more information behind my Podcast Industry Statistics site.

According to the top results in Google searches:

2. Not all podcasts are active

3. Not all podcasts are consistent

4. Your niche is much smaller

5. Your podcast could do what others don't, can't, or won't

6. There will always be ways to innovate
