#127 – What We’re Learning About Podcast Impact: Reflections from the German Audience

MS-Perspektive - The Multiple Sclerosis Podcast

In this episode, I’m offering a behind-the-scenes look at a recent research project I conducted based on a listener survey among the German-speaking audience of the MS-Perspektive Podcast. While the detailed results are currently under review for publication, I share why I launched the study, what questions I was most curious about, and what might come next.

The survey was part of my master’s thesis and focused on questions like:

• Do podcast listeners feel they’ve learned more about MS?

• Does it influence their confidence in dealing with the disease?

• Which types of content are most helpful—and for whom?

This episode also includes a call to participate in future research, particularly for international listeners of this podcast.

🧠 Topics covered:

• What inspired the study

• Key research questions

• First impressions from the data

• Plans for future (international) surveys

• A heartfelt thank you to all participants

• How you can get involved
