​
While both social audio and podcasting appear similar at first glance, there are some very key differences between the two formats:

​✅ Interaction

Social audio platforms allow for real-time interaction between the host and listeners, creating a more conversational and engaging experience.

Podcasts, on the other hand, are typically pre-recorded and don't offer the same level of live interaction.

✅ Length

Social audio conversations can range from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the topic and participants.

Podcasts tend to have a more structured format, with episodes typically lasting between 20 minutes and an hour.

✅ Availability

​Podcasts are typically available on demand, allowing listeners to consume content at their convenience, while social audio requires users to be present at the time of the conversation.

​✅ Production Value

​Podcasts often have higher production value, with professional editing, sound design, and scripting, while social audio conversations are typically more spontaneous and raw.

​✅ Audience

​Podcasts tend to have a more targeted audience based on the show's topic, while social audio can attract a wider range of listeners due to its more diverse and unpredictable content.
