In the latest episode of The Drum Network Podcast, we speak to Spotify about their latest ‘trends tour’ and four leading marketers about their own podcast journeys.

Spotify’s ‘2024 Podcast Trends Tour’ launched a couple of weeks back, with a lot of data telling one story: podcast advertising is big business, and still going.

To wit: in a trend it’s calling ‘podfluencers’, the audio giant has found that 63% of people trust their favorite podcast host more than their favorite social media influencer. That trust, they say, is key to more tangible outcomes – like the finding that a similar 62% of people have taken action after hearing a podcasting ad.

It’s those stats we’re interrogating in this week’s episode of The Drum Network Podcast, featuring first a conversation with Spotify Advertising’s global brand strategy and thought leadership lead, Jenny Haggard. We then stress-test the reports findings with four marketers-turned-real-life-podcasters: Brew Digital’s Haydn Woods-Williams, MG Empower’s Maira Genovese, PrettyGreen’s Sammy Albon, and Amplify’s Fayola Douglas.
