Multiverse of Podcasts

“There’s a
podcast
for that”

It’s a big world out there, and podcasts echo that. Just tap into your app of choice, and you’ll be thrown into an expanse of content covering all topics, interests and subjects.

From the weird to the wonderful — and everything in between.

That’s what makes podcasting special.

Podcasts are where consumers know they’ll find what they’re into, no matter what they’re into. Want to learn about the American Civil War? How about catching up on the gossip from the latest Bachelorette episode? Don’t worry, there’s a podcast for that.

Each listener actively curates their own unique universe, weaving together the shows that are meaningful to them, making their journey through this boundless space entirely personal. That’s the multiverse of podcasts.

4 in 5 podcast listeners listen to podcasts with a narrow area of focus made for people with more specific interests (such as hobbies or niche topics)
Shows with smaller but devoted followings deliver real value for brands advertising within the long tail of podcast listening.

While they might not have the headline grabbing weekly listening figures, they generally have lower ad load, higher listen-through rates and more deeply engaged audiences. Investing in these shows through audience targeting creates a larger aggregate audience and more efficient campaign performance.

This way advertisers can benefit from the deep relationships and loyalty of these smaller shows, while still achieving that all important reach.
