Understanding the difference between Radio & Podcasts
We use the popular term, Concealed Wisconsin “Radio”, but we are not a traditional radio show; we are a Podcast – which is way better than Radio in so many ways. Many people take the approach that advertising on a podcast is much like advertising on radio and there are some major differences between the two platforms and we have listed them here for you.
- Advertising on radio would require the targeted audience to be listening at the precise moment that the commercial airs. If not, it misfired on all accounts. A podcast however, is more often than not listened to at the convenience of the audience.
- On radio, you are paying for a specific time slot and when that time slot is over, That’s It! On a podcast, the show will be downloaded over and over. Sometimes by the same listener and even more often by new listeners. So the longevity of the commercial can live on forever. Meaning Residual Advertising at no additional cost to the Sponsor.
- Podcast advertising is advantageous to the sponsor as well because it is guaranteed to be heard by the audience, especially if the commercial is at the very beginning of the show.
- When advertising on radio, sponsors can only be in that listening geographic area. Thanks to iTunes and The Internet, advertising will now reach a greater number of listeners than ever before.
- Last but not least, when advertising on a podcast, the price is more negotiable than airtime on any radio station.
Our Demographics are Men (70%) and Women(30%) ages 18-65 and we typically can reach audiences from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois, but we have listeners all over the world.
