A podcast network is a group of podcasts that are produced or managed under a single brand or organization. These networks often provide resources like marketing, production support, and distribution to help individual podcasts grow their audience. By pooling resources, podcast networks can also attract advertisers more effectively. Many popular podcast networks, such as Wondery and Gimlet Media, feature a variety of shows covering different topics, from true crime to comedy. This diversity allows listeners to discover new content easily while benefiting from the network's established reputation and promotional efforts.
