In a podcast, the content is communicated directly to you, the listener, either verbally or through video. That’s a much more intimate way of getting information than reading it from an e-mail or document.
#2. Podcasts are convenient and easy to consume.
Once you subscribe to a podcast feed, new podcasts are automatically downloaded to your computer as soon as they are available. You can listen to them at your convenience.

Podcast advertising is pretty much what it sounds like, advertising on podcasts by purchasing ad space.
Typically, the podcast host will “endorse” your brand or read an ad for your brand for a 30 or 60 second spot during the beginning or middle part of the podcast.
The podcast ad should contain info about your product or service, along with where listeners can order or contact you, possibly coupon codes, and more info that the listeners might need about your product or service. Having the podcast host give a personal experience with your product or service also can be very effective in converting listeners to leads or customers.
Some different typical podcast ad types include:
Pre‐roll: A 15 to 30 seconds spot, aired at the beginning of a podcast.
Mid‐roll: A 45 to 60 seconds spot, aired during the middle of a podcast.
Post‐roll: A 15 to 30 seconds spot, aired at the end of a podcast.
Baked in: These are ads where a message is read live by the podcast host or hosts, and they really become a part of the podcast itself, as everyone who ever listens will hear it.
Dynamically ad insertion (DAI): These are ads that play at the end of a podcast, by purchasing ad insertions on an ad server. This automates the ad buying process which is different than the traditional way of manually negotiating and buying podcast ad space. While every user hears a different ad, these ads offer precise measurement and targeting capabilities.
