Broadcast-to-Podcast
The automated technological process of converting linear, live radio broadcasts into on-demand podcast episodes.
What is Broadcast-to-Podcast?
Broadcast-to-Podcast pipelines segment live radio content: talk shows, morning shows, news blocks, interview segments: into discrete, on-demand podcast episodes, published automatically to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and every major podcast platform. The live audience hears the broadcast version with its original ads; the on-demand podcast audience can be served a different ad set via DAI.
Strategically, broadcast-to-podcast is one of the highest-ROI moves a terrestrial broadcaster can make. Existing content: already paid for, already produced: gets a second revenue stream in an entirely different ecosystem with different audience segments and different ad economics. Stations that invested in broadcast-to-podcast early (notably NPR, BBC, and several commercial radio groups) built durable content-monetization engines well beyond what their linear broadcast economics alone could support.
Why it matters
An essential audience extension strategy, allowing terrestrial stations to monetize their content long after the live broadcast ends via DAI.
