Top Podcasts for Men Right Now

“What’s my dad’s favorite podcast?” We feel pretty confident that you have not asked yourself that question lately or ever for that matter. 

Dads are so important to any family, and being a dad is a tall order. In honor of Father’s Day, we decided to explore some very specific Dad Stats and did some digging.  

We asked the question, what do dads aged 18+ with kids under the age of 18 listen to? What did we uncover? Sports still rule, and men are genuinely interested in inspiring, personal audio content. The vast world of podcasts offers dads exactly what they desire right now.   

 Dads are catching up to moms in their hunger for advice on being successful both at home and at work. Educational podcasts related to tech advancements and music history are also big for dads. It’s so great to see American Dads embrace the world of podcasts at dizzying speeds. Dads are 82% more likely to listen to podcasts monthly than the average US monthly podcast listener. With a wide variety of podcasts more readily available these days, fathers (and dads-to-be) have plenty of listening options.  

Podcasts have been around for quite some time now, but it’s only in the last few years that the audio format has really hit its stride. Today there are more podcasts than ever, covering everything from comedy to sports; current affairs to health and fitness. We were really interested to see what dads are tuning into:
