Liberated Syndication Inc. (“Libsyn”), the leading ‘Podcasting As A Service’ platform, announces its December 2020 Podcast Advertising Rates, including the highest and most accessible CPM categories.

“2022 was a breakout year in podcasting. Podcasts have become mainstream with explosive growth among younger and more diverse audiences who are embracing niche genres and new ways of listening,” said Dave Hanley, Chief Revenue Officer at Libsyn’s AdvertiseCast. “In parallel, advertisers are increasingly drawn to the value of the medium as a highly effective, brand safe, and brand suitable environment to market their product or service – which we expect to grow in 2023.”
