Rothmus 🏴(@Rothmus):Pocket FM tried 11 formats before landing on short serialized audio. Daily listening went from about 25 minutes to more than 120 minutes. They later shifted production toward AI assisted output, which increased the volume of shows. Retention rose and many listeners started writing on the platform. A lot of the writers now on the platform started as listeners.
