Advertisers Blast Podcast's proprietary technology brings together publishers and advertisers. Our software matches publisher content against your specific target markets. This maximizes the effectiveness of your Podcast exposure. Blast Podcast's tracking mechanisms ensure you have detailed and up to date, real time statistics. Podcasting vs. Broadcasting Traditional broadcasting technologies such as television and radio rely on "pushing" their programming to users. Podcasting, on the other hand, is a "pull" technology. What this means is that users choose to listen to, or watch, what they want, when they want. As an advertiser, you can leverage this platform to target relevant ads to a captive audience. More About the Advertisements Audio ads are typically 10 to 20 seconds and may be inserted at the beginning, end or middle of the show. Who creates the ads?
