The podcast intelligence platform crosses 25+ networks, 3,000+ shows, and $25M+ in omni-channel campaigns tracked in its first year, and introduces the next generation of measurement, verification, and AI-native infrastructure for the podcast industry.

Los Angeles, California — Listener.com, the podcast intelligence layer powering the world’s leading podcast networks, today marks its first anniversary with the largest product release in its history. The platform is launching Campaigns 2.0, an omni-channel podcast advertising and measurement suite; Airchecks, an automatic brand sponsorship verification system; and the Listener.com MCP, a first-of-its-kind integration that brings podcast intelligence directly into Claude and ChatGPT.

Since launching in May 2025, Listener.com has been adopted by 25+ leading podcast networks, including Jomboy Media, PodcastOne, and Sport Social, alongside 3,000+ independent shows and 50+ leading brands. In twelve months, the platform has tracked more than $25M in omni-channel campaigns and measured over 1 billion impressions across audio, video, and social.

“Modern podcasting is no longer just audio. It’s audio, video, and short-form content, and the analytics infrastructure powering the industry hasn’t caught up,” said Casey Adams, Founder and CEO of Listener.com. “Year one was about building the intelligence layer the industry was missing. Year two is about becoming the layer every podcast campaign in the world runs through.”

Campaigns 2.0: Omni-Channel Podcast Advertising

Campaigns 2.0 introduces a unified measurement and pacing layer for podcast sponsorships across every surface a modern show distributes on. Networks and agencies can set campaign impression goals across one show or an entire network, attach the episodes a campaign is running on, and track real-time performance across host-read sponsorships, long-form YouTube, and the short-form clip ecosystems where modern podcasts increasingly live. Built around shareability, the product enables networks to package and present campaign performance to brand partners in a single, professional view.

“Listener.com has fundamentally changed how we analyze our network. Episode clusters give us a clear picture on how every piece of content performs. Not only long-form podcasts, but every social series and clip across our entire network,” said Lucas D’Aversa, Business Intelligence Manager at Jomboy Media.

Airchecks: Sponsorship Verification, Built In

Airchecks, a core component of Campaigns 2.0, automatically verifies brand sponsorship mentions across audio and video. For publishers, it eliminates the manual labor of proving sponsorship delivery. For advertisers, it provides verifiable confirmation that paid mentions ran as contracted across every channel a show distributes on. Together, Campaigns 2.0 and Airchecks close a long-standing gap in podcast advertising: the lack of a unified, verifiable, omni-channel measurement layer for the brands investing in the medium.

The Listener.com MCP: Podcast Intelligence Inside Claude and ChatGPT

The Listener.com MCP brings podcast data directly into the AI tools podcast teams already use every day. Through native integrations with Claude and ChatGPT, podcast executives, producers, and ad operations teams can query their entire network in natural language, pulling performance data, generating reports, building visualizations, and surfacing audience insights without leaving the AI interface. Campaigns 2.0, Airchecks, and the Listener.com MCP are available to all customers beginning today. To learn more about Listener.com and the future of podcast intelligence, please visit listener.com.
