How this board was painted
- Read through 2026-09-22. We read what publishers write in their own episode descriptions, so every name here can be checked against the show’s own notes.
- A company reaches this board when it bought ads on 2 or more of the 14 publishers in this trade. 926 more appear on just one, and are not shown.
- Paint condition is how long ago we last saw a company here — fresh today, fully weathered at 36 months. A board reads “still buying” within 12 months, and gold lettering means the run passes ten years.
- Coverage counts publishers, not feeds. These 14 publishers put out 24 separate feeds — one operator’s several shows are one buyer, not 11 chances.
- Of the 20 companies with the widest reach here, 40% buy in 45 or fewer podcasts anywhere. The rest buy everywhere, and we leave them on the board because we did see them here.
- 358 more were named out loud without a link, so we have the name but not the address — they are not painted yet.
- What this board does not say: nothing about rates, spend, audience, or whom to contact — we have none of that. And an absence here means we did not see it, never that it did not happen.
- This board ranks advertisers, not shows. We do not rank podcasts and do not publish a worst-to-best list of them: what we can measure is who bought, not who is worth buying.
