Methodology and freshness

This report summarizes 1,159 public podcast ad reads detected by AdReads during June 22–28, 2026, a Monday-through-Sunday UTC window. Rankings reflect activity detected in the AdReads dataset, not total market share. Estimated-spend and earnings rankings are two views of the same detected placements and are not additive. They sum modeled current-equivalent values using current popularity inputs without extrapolating missing reads; they are not reported invoices, verified payouts, booked-period revenue, or total market spend. Timing was available for 1,159 reads (100%); the latest included detection was Jun 28, 2026, 3:17 AM UTC. Ad objective shares are calculated across the 1,159 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.
