Privacy Policy

Who we are

Marketing Podcast Network is a community collective of podcasters united as a single network to collaborate, support, promote and share with one another. At our core is a singular advertising network unifying topic-relevant podcasts and audiences to allow advertisers wising to reach marketers an efficient and effective channel to do so.

Participating members of our ad network receive equal revenue share from any advertising sold and are exempt from hosting costs for their podcasts. Non-participating members of our network are included in our mindshare and community discussions, receive cross-promotions for their shows along the network and contribute a modest fee for the hosting costs for their podcasts.
