Q: Are podcasts replacing radio?
A: No. Podcast audiences are growing but still are not nearly as big as radio audiences. Think about it this way: How much time do you spend listening to radio very day or every week? How many podcasts do you listen to daily or weekly?
Q: What's the value or utility of a podcast?
A: If you miss a particular program or broadcast on the radio, there's a good chance the station made a podcast of that program. If that's the case, you can go to the station's website, find the podcast and listen to it. So podcasts offer a sort of historical archiving of broadcast/radio programs.
