What happens when a podcast becomes bigger than the podcast itself?
Heather Osgood sits down with Christiana Brenton, Chief Business Officer at Steven.com, to explore the rise of the “creator entrepreneur” and what it means for the future of podcast advertising.

They also dig into what traditional podcast monetization models may be getting wrong, how advertisers should think about creator-led media, and whether, three to five years from now, we’ll still be buying “podcast ads” at all.
