- Advertisements Often Lead to Purchases. Eighty percent of listeners who have heard of a product are interested in learning more about it, with 29% claiming to have bought the product they heard advertised.
- Podcast Ads Grab Attention. Forty percent of listeners state that ads in between podcasts �always� or �often� capture their attention, with 40% of these listeners saying they trust these advertisements.
