Host-read ads are delivered by the podcast host in their own voice and style. On SpotsNow, publishers control which host-read opportunities are available and approve creative before ads are recorded or scheduled.
When a host-read campaign is requested, you’ll be able to review:
The advertiser and brand category
Campaign timing and placement
Creative requirements and deadlines
You can approve or reject requests based on fit and availability.
For host-read ads, advertisers typically submit:
A script or talking points
Key claims or disclaimers
Offer details, URLs, or promo codes
You can request changes to ensure the ad aligns with your show’s tone and audience while still meeting advertiser needs.
Once creative is approved:
The host records the ad in their own voice
The ad is scheduled according to the campaign dates
Placement (pre-, mid-, or post-roll) follows the listing details
Timely recording helps avoid delays or missed placements.
Host-read ads should:
Match the agreed length and placement
Follow approved creative guidelines
Run within the scheduled episode or date range
