Castria podcast ad report
Castria finds the ads in every podcast episode its listeners follow, so it can skip them. This report adds those measurements up: 2,564 episodes from 29 podcasts. Ads are how most shows pay for themselves, so these are measurements, not judgments.
"Typical" is the median show: half the shows measured run more, half run less.
Minutes of ads in each hour of listening, across every measured episode.
