Summary
Podcast ad spending is dominated by a few VC-funded advertisers like BetterHelp and Squarespace. Dave says VC money isn't dependable; it can evaporate with slight economic disruption. If one advertiser making up 15 percent of the market goes under, that money is gone. Hearing the same Squarespace ad today as eight years ago is another sign the market is immature and unstable.

I can probably hear the exact same Squarespace ad that I hear from from that same show this week.
