Serial was basically a Black Swan event dude, no one I know listens to narrative audio content when they could watch narrative video content instead.

It's true that listening is easier to do on the move, but people just prefer to listen to music. I've never met anyone who is more into podcasts than music.

TL;DR the market just isn't very big and what market there is has already been captured by podcast services.

It sounds like you need to meet more people or you need to provide evidence. Otherwise it’s just a lazy assertion providing no value to the conversation.
Podcasts are a huge market because Americans drive a shitload and an increasing percentage of cars on the road have Bluetooth audio.
