Online audio and podcast consumption in the U.S. reached record levels in 2026, according to new data from Edison Research's annual “The Infinite Dial” study conducted with SSRS and supported by SiriusXM Media.
The report found that 81% of Americans age 12 and older — an estimated 233 million people — listened to online audio in the last month, while 76% listened in the last week. Edison Research said weekly engagement among monthly online audio listeners has climbed steadily over the past two decades, rising from 57% in 2006 to 94% in 2026.
