How this compares
The same monthly audience running a dedicated YouTube brand-deal video would earn roughly $250 per month — YouTube dedicated videos pay a premium over podcast CPMs, but podcasts have stickier listeners and higher conversion for host-read reads.

What it does
Host-read podcast ads: $20-30 CPM mid-roll. Programmatic: half that. Your monthly downloads × ads per episode × placement CPM.
