Methodology and freshness
This report summarizes 301 public podcast ad reads detected by AdReads during June 15–21, 2026, a Monday-through-Sunday UTC window. Rankings reflect activity detected in the AdReads dataset—not estimated advertiser spend or total market share. Timing was available for 301 reads (100%); the latest included detection was Jun 19, 2026, 12:09 PM UTC. Ad objective shares are calculated across the 301 reads with a classified objective. Among podcasts with qualifying reads detected this week, ad load is unique occupied public-ad time divided by total runtime across each show's latest five measured episodes published before the report cutoff. Overlapping reads count once; leaderboards require at least three episodes with valid runtime and timing data.
