It’s clear that podcasts have officially replaced the radio. They have become a source of entertainment for many, but in Saudi Arabia in particular, this form of media has skyrocketed, with thousands of people tuning in weekly. Rising Giants Network’s study titled ‘Podcast Consumption in Saudi Arabia 2021’ has shown that 67% of people in the Kingdom tuned into podcasts at least once a week. The platform gives users endless access to their favourite speakers, whenever and wherever. With podcasts becoming accessible everywhere and anywhere, we’ve rounded up some of the top Saudi podcasts to listen to.
