Podcasts do not publish download numbers, so Starbooked estimates 1,500 to 5,000 per episode, with low confidence because the show is irregular. At $18 to $25 per 1,000 downloads, a host-read mid-roll would be about $40 to $130. It suits brands selling productivity, writing or creator tools to independent professionals.
