How this is built

TrackPodcasts transcribes podcast episodes and detects ad reads in the transcript, then resolves each to a brand. A read counts once per episode per brand. Host-read and dynamically inserted ads are classified separately; the reads quoted above are host-read. Figures cover the episodes we transcribed in the month, not all podcasts, so treat them as a large sample rather than a census. Generated September 12, 2026.
