As Eureka Surveys, we recently conducted a poll on the favorite podcast genres among our users. True crime and comedy topped the list, with more than 17,000 total responses. But it isn't just the favorites that grabbed our attention; the poll shed light on how deeply personal these choices are, unveiling the hidden world of our audience's desires and how they use podcasts to fulfill them.
True crime flew off the charts, showing that people like dipping their toes into the world of crime without actually getting their hands dirty. Listening to these narratives, complexities, and unearthing truths make great use of an idle mind and serves as an exciting way of satiating the human need for thrill and adventure. Not quite Sherlock Holmes, but close enough!

How Podcasts Reflect Our Desires
Comedy, another big winner, tells us that our audience has a mighty need for laughter and lightness in their lives. In these uncertain times, they've chosen comedy podcasts as their go-to for ‘happy medicine’. And let's not forget our tech aficionados and history buffs who make up an impressive portion of our audience, proving that learning never goes out of style. These results remind us of how different our tastes can be, and yet, they all satisfy one universal human trait: curiosity.
Analyzing these surveys is like looking through a kaleidoscope of human behavior and desires. It might even inspire you to venture out into a new genre or two. After all, Eureka Surveys isn’t just about taking free paid surveys to make money online. It’s also about stirring conversations, sparking insights, and creating a shared understanding of how diverse and intriguing our user community is.
