Podcast: Monetization, Native vs Replay, and the Video Shift

📝 The pitch

Podcast confirms its vitality, but its center of gravity is shifting: YouTube has become the world's 2nd podcast platform, and video podcast is taking hold. Good news for reaching younger audiences; bad news for measurement and advertising, as video converts less effectively than pure audio. Among hosts, ad networks and producers, how can a sustainable model be built?

• US podcast ad spend > 3 Bn$; dynamic insertion = > 90% of revenue
