Podcast statistics

As of January 2017, we are not accepting new sponsorship offers for UX Podcast episodes. We enourage listener donations and volunteering to help instead.

UX Podcast has a niche audience, the majority of the listeners are people working within the profession of user experience and interaction design.

The listenership of UX Podcast reaches beyond UX/IxD and also includes developers and people who are working within digital media, such as product owners, web managers and communicators.

Although there has been notable increase in the number of UX related podcasts in recent years, very few have been running since 2011 or earlier. UX Podcast gives a unique opportunity for guests to reach the UX community through audio interviews.

In both Loop11’s 2017 and 2018 UX industry reports which gather data from over 750 UX-ers from across the world, UX Podcast was the 2nd most mentioned information source in the podcast category. UX Podcast regularly features in “Best UX podcast” lists and articles.
