See how they did it Podcasting is now a $2bn ad industry in the US - earning a total of $2.4bn in US podcast ad revenue, in 2024. “This rebound is driven by continued expansion of podcast networks, deeper brand integrations, and advancements in audience targeting,” said the IAB / PwC Internet Ad Revenue Report. In total, internet advertising revenue hit $258.6 billion in 2024, its highest since 2021. The report is a free download.

Measure podcast growth People are spending 44% more time looking at Spotify’s app than last year. “The demand for podcast audiences for video is undeniable at this point,” says Spotify’s Maya Prohovnik in an exclusive interview with the Podnews Weekly Review today. “For almost all shows who have switched from audio to video, they're making more total revenue,” she told us; and when questioned on claims earlier in the week that creators lose features when they switch to video, she told us: “I think that's the wrong way to look at the big picture. If you are already making video content, or if you're thinking about expanding to video, you're going to be thrilled by the outcome of SPP” (the Spotify Partner program). Prohovnik also told us that Spotify is working to improve ad measurement and third-party attribution. “We acknowledge that gap, we see it, we agree with the problem and so we're working on that.” The Cut covers podcasts being made by tweens. Most shows mentioned in the piece are video only - on Cameo, Instagram, Tikok and YouTube.

Sponsored by Magellan AI. Better insights, bigger deals. See how Gamut Podcast Network uses Magellan AI to drive revenue. See their strategy Spotify announced that it is investing €1 million ($1.14mn) to increase the production of audiobooks in non-English languages, starting with French and Dutch. “In France, we are continuing to bring a younger, more diverse audience to audiobooks, with nearly 60% of listeners aged 18 to 34 accounting for over half of all listening hours,” the company says. But, what is an audiobook? Some successful podcasts are reading out public domain stories, or works to which the podcaster has the rights. However, don’t think that monetising these podcasts-as-audiobooks is going to be easy: we’ve heard from one podcast network who acquired a successful story podcast only to discover that Spotify’s SPAN wouldn’t monetise it at all. The company’s monetisation policies say that earning money is restricted for content that “is a written work by authors read aloud without the addition [of] original content”. Acast has signed a former Spotify exclusive show. The Receipts Podcast, hosted by Tolani Shoneye and Audrey Indome, launched in 2016, is also releasing episodes on YouTube, and will soon “launch its own dedicated studio setup”. > > > Read more of today’s podcast industry news stories on the Podnews website: and get our free daily newsletter.Classifieds - your job or ad hereWork with an award winning podcast producer! — I can save you hours of editing so you can focus on making great content.
