Maybe you noticed it on our website, or perhaps in our eNewsletters. Possibly you saw it on our social media platforms. Maybe you have no idea what I am referencing. At Stone World, we are always looking for new and different ways to get more information and news to our readers, so we decided to try our hand at podcasting. For the past 10 months, we have invited fabricators, stone and tooling suppliers, and other industry experts to discuss a variety of topics to help the fabricator and further the industry.
Back in 2006, according to Statista, only 22 percent of the adult population in the U.S. was aware of podcasting; by 2020 this figure has risen to 75 percent. On top of that, in 2019, there were an estimated 88 million podcast listeners. As our lives get busier, our time gets more precious, and we figure out ways to be more efficient. One of those ways is by listening to podcasts. Sometimes we put one on to have in the background while we do work. Other times, we are trying to kill time in a car ride. Podcasting gives us the ability to learn on the go and in an industry where time is money.
