Ads and sponsorships

A podcast advertising marketplace; eligibility and hosting or delivery requirements depend on the campaign and program.

AdvertiseCast now operates under the Libsyn Ads name. It connects podcast publishers and advertisers through managed advertising services.

For a podcaster, it is a potential sales channel rather than a hosting replacement. Availability of campaigns and commercial terms should be established directly before relying on revenue.

An advertiser marketplace does not guarantee that a particular show will receive offers. Keep expectations tied to actual audience fit and agreed terms.
