Podcast Advertising Choices – PCI 279

Skull wearing headphones and sunglassesNot all podcast advertising is created equal, for instance, a new study says 30 seconds is the best length for an ad. However, depending on where the ad is in the show, it could be better to go longer or shorter. There is no solid rule of thumb. And our best practice encourages podcasters to choose wisely when deciding to partner with a sponsor. Mike and Todd chat about some recent changes to Youtube creators and Spotify artists as well.

Best Practice

Be picky about what you choose to advertise on your podcast.

An advertiser is another representative of yourself and your show. Who you choose to identify with can seem minor but to a certain listener can be a major indicator of something they don’t agree with.

Question(s) of the Week

Question: Thinking about buying a new microphone! Curious, what aspects do you consider before buying one?

Answer: There are a few things to think about when choosing a microphone. 

  1. Your recording environment.
  2. Your voice.
  3. Cost
  4. XLR vs USB

Generally speaking, a dynamic microphone is more likely to work for most podcasters.
