In 2021, the number of monthly podcast listeners increased tremendously, especially among audiences between the ages of 18 – 34 (Source: Insider Intelligence). We’ve heard from our Lessy Messy customers that listening to podcasts actually helps them relax and recharge throughout the day. We couldn’t agree more – podcasts are especially great because you can listen to them while doing pretty much anything.
