Nielsen report that there has been a significant growth in female podcast listening since the start of the pandemic. Host-read ads drive a brand recall rate of 71%, the research company says.
Meanwhile, Acast surveyed 1,000 podcast listeners in the US and the UK to discover that podcasts are providing a safe space for all women, and the brands who support them.
The average CPM in AdvertiseCast’s marketplace for March was $23.44, the company says; slightly up from February’s $23.36 and almost identical year-on-year.

Alban Brooke retells a story he’d heard at Podcast Movement last week about automated advertising for podcasts. Attributed to NPR (who deny they’ve ever done this), the system would turn on Facebook marketing when shows dip out of the Apple Podcasts charts: and turn it off when shows re-enter. Sounds a clever idea.
