In 2025, creators and brands are facing a major decision: Should they focus on YouTube views or podcast audio distribution when chasing sponsorship dollars?

Both formats shape culture and reach millions, but when it comes to ROI, podcast audio is quietly outperforming video. In this episode, we break it all down:

🔹 YouTube = Scale + Discovery. A single viral video can bring millions of impressions. It’s unmatched for brand awareness, storytelling, and mass reach. But while CPMs may be cheaper, conversions often lag.

🔹 Podcast Audio = Intimacy + Action Podcasts aren’t just content — they’re a lifestyle habit. Listeners tune in at the gym, on commutes, or while doing chores, giving brands access to undivided attention. With host-read ads that feel like trusted referrals, podcasts drive stronger engagement, higher CPMs, and easier ROI tracking.

📊 Industry Numbers You Need to Know:

• Global podcast ad revenue has surged past $2 billion and is growing at double-digit rates year over year.
• Host-read ads average $25–$40 CPM, significantly higher than many YouTube ads.
• Podcast listeners show significantly higher ad recall and purchase intent compared to YouTube viewers.

If you’re a creator, brand, or sponsor wondering where to put your money in 2025 — this episode gives you the playbook.

👉 Tune in now and discover why distribution may matter more than views.
