Paying podcast consumers prefer to pay directly to the podcaster, rather than through the podcasting platform. A survey among paying American podcast users found that 59 percent of adults preferred to pay directly to the show over paying a podcast network such as Luminary. This preference is consistent when looking at gender comparison of payment methods.
