Question #N801

The recent surge in popularity of podcasts, particularly those focused on true crime, has led to a phenomenon known as "podcasting fatigue." Podcast listeners, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of available content, are increasingly finding themselves unable to keep up with the latest episodes, leaving many podcasts unfinished or abandoned. This phenomenon has led some podcast creators to reconsider their approach to content creation, emphasizing quality and depth over sheer quantity. This is evident in the increasing prevalence of podcasts that focus on a single topic or theme, or that offer a more intimate and conversational style. This trend is a response to the listener's need for a more curated and meaningful listening experience.

A. a desire for a more intimate and conversational style.
B. the need for a more curated listening experience.
C. a growing trend toward emphasizing quality over quantity.
D. the phenomenon of "podcasting fatigue."
