Apple’s Plan For Kids Podcasts
Not many kids listen to podcasts, basically more of Apple podcasts listeners are more of adult and less of youths and children. However, experts believe that the kids market may grow to the level of the adult podcast community. More than 60% of parents who listen to podcasts when asked said that they’re likely to purchase a paid subscription to podcasts for their kids.
This new feature comes after Apple recently launched the “Apple For Kids” website. A site that helps parents set up devices for kids and find information about family sharing options.
