Abstract
Podcasting has seen a dramatic surge worldwide. Given the crucial role of audio media and storytelling in tourism, we empirically explored the nascent phenomenon of travel podcast consumption. Exploratory factor analysis, cluster analysis and discriminate analysis are used as methodological approaches. Our study unveiled four antecedents of travel podcast listening and four distinct segments of travel podcast listeners. Theoretically, we contribute towards the nuanced understanding of travel podcast listeners and have identified other's directedness and content quality and its delivery as new motivational constructs in travel podcasts. Practically, we offer guidance for travel podcast creators to optimise their outreach and reveal actionable insights and for destination marketers on effectively engaging with this expanding audience.

Tourism Management Perspectives is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the planning and management of travel and tourism. It covers topics such as tourist experiences, their consequences for communities, economies, and environments, the creation of image, the shaping of tourist experiences and perceptions, and the management of tourist organizations and destinations. The journal's editorial board consists of experienced international professionals and it shares the board with Tourism Management. The journal covers socio-cultural, technological, planning, and policy aspects of international, national, and regional tourism, as well as specific management studies. It encourages papers that introduce new research methods and critique existing ones in the context of tourism research. The journal publishes empirical research articles and high-quality review articles on important topics and emerging themes that enhance the theoretical and conceptual understanding of key areas within travel and tourism management.
