Abstract:
In the last 10 years, podcasts have significantly grown in popularity. In 2013, just 12% of Americans 12 and older said they had listened to a podcast in the past month.1 In contrast, in 2023, 42% of Americans ages 12 and older have listened to a podcast in the past month, according to “The Infinite Dial” report by Edison Research. With an increase in podcast listenership, it is not at all surprising that podcasts have also harnessed the power of survivors sharing their stories in order to expand awareness and share resources and information about domestic violence. This article surveys some of the leading podcasts created to inform and education the public about domestic violence and serve the specific needs of survivors.Keywords: DV Podcasts
