Not all podcasts are pure entertainment or education. Some are pure content marketing.
There is no denying it. With 46 million listeners, podcasts are definitely the next branded content. And there’s no shortage of podcasts about how to create the best branded content. So it should be no surprise there are podcasts you can classify as content marketing. Their sole purpose is to sell you something while tricking you into thinking you’re being entertained or learning something new.
