This is true. But there are sources with sourced stats available....

- And interesting vis a vis the current pandemic situation: https://www.niemanlab.org/2020/03/i...home-all-the-time-is-bad-news-for-podcasting/
So broad generalizations like "most" or "everyone" are frequently faulty, and of course, podcasts can cover everything from sports to politics to crime to lifestyle. But it isn't dismissible out of hand that there may be interesting demographic variations in how audiences consume political content.
So after reading some of the stats (and thank you so much for providing them) it does seem I wasn't far off. Younger generations tend to listen to podcasts more so than you'd expect. In fact, the largest group of podcast consumers are 12-34, so I knew I wasn't wrong at all.
