More and more listeners are incorporating podcasts into their daily lives. And this habit could say a lot about who they are, according to a new study. Scientists found that fans of the format are, on average, more curious than others.

To come to this conclusion, Stephanie Tobin and Rosanna Guadagno interviewed 306 people from around a dozen countries about their relationship with this form of entertainment. They then compared their listening habits with different personality traits, such as curiosity, openness to experience and the need to belong.
