With podcast engagement on the increase, podcasts have become one of the top tools that marketers can leverage. Nearly 60% of all US consumers who are older than 12 listen to podcasts, according to podcast statistics shared by Statista. What’s more, the number of podcast listeners has basically doubled in 10 years. These numbers have a positive impact on podcast ad revenues too. According to online data shared by eMarketer, it’s anticipated that podcast ad revenues will be more than $2 billion in 2023.

In 2022, we launched the PodValue Initiative within PodMatch. It’s a profit-sharing program where we pay podcast hosts who use our platform. (How it works: Use PodMatch to find your guests, then get paid.) We had a very ambitious dream to put a quarter million dollars back into the hands of podcasters.
I am proud to announce that we have reached this goal!!!
Here’s how it went down:
2022: $72,802.70
2023: $185,364.47
Total: $258,167.17
Today at PodMatch HQ, we’re celebrating the podcasters who have been part of this. THANK YOU so much for trusting us and allowing us to play a small part in your success!
