Because of your comment I googled and came across the company Saatva. I was surprised to see that it is actually a fairly big company which had a revenue of $375 million in 2019. Podcast marketing must be really effective.

And now you know why Spotify is so gung-ho into podcasts, lately.

That and the payola for advertising your content on their platform[0] and the not having to pay artist royalties.

unless this is sarcasm, that is a glaring cause and effect error. consider that maybe already large companies are the ones with money to blow on podcasts.

I bI don't own a TV and blocked pretty much all online advertising in my life.(thanks to nextdns) However am an adamant podcast listener, most days it is probably the only advertisements that reach me.

Haha, no but that's a good feature request :)
