Publishers offering "Podcast Pre Roll" spots
A podcast pre-roll is a short audio ad that plays at the very start of an episode, usually 15 to 30 seconds. Many are read by the host, which makes them sound like part of the show.
How it's sold
Louie Media, The Motley Fool and The Changelog sell host-read pre-roll spots. Each publisher books through its sales team or advertising page, and some also sell through podcast ad platforms.

Rates come on request. The usual basis is a CPM, which means a price per 1,000 downloads.
What you supply
A script or talking points for the host, or a recorded 15 to 30 second audio file.
