The consumption of long-form audio content is evolving as listeners move away from traditional radio toward podcasts and lectures. Modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with USB ports and 3.5mm jacks, allowing users to play MP3 files directly from thumb drives. This shift is particularly prevalent among commuters who prefer personality-driven, commercial-free content over mainstream radio broadcasts.
