Short answer

Podcast advertising is the placement of ads within podcast episodes, either read by the host or produced as pre-recorded spots. Ads are baked into the episode permanently or dynamically inserted at download, allowing targeting and updating. Host-read ads are valued for listener trust, while dynamic insertion offers scale and measurement.
