podcast ad

Mid-episode sales pitch

A podcast ad is a commercial message embedded in a podcast episode, typically read by the host or inserted as prerecorded audio.

These ads often appear at predictable points—the beginning (pre-roll), middle (mid-roll), or end (post-roll).

Host-read ads tend toward conversational pitches: This episode is brought to you by...

The format's intimacy makes listeners more receptive than to traditional advertising.
