Do podcasts have a major influence on our daily lives? More and more people are listening to these audio formats – and it seems that they may have a genuine impact on our habits. So much so that a third of Americans have considered making a change to their lifestyle after listening to one.

The popularity of podcasts doesn't seem set to fade anytime soon. According to a Pew Research report, about half (49%) of Americans listened to a podcast in the past 12 months prior to the survey. One in five Americans and one-third under 30 even reported listening to a podcast at least several times a week.
