Podcast is a new audio media in Sweden and has become larger and increasingly more popular in the past few years.

From the interviews with listeners and sponsoring companies in the study, it is concluded that the best and most effective strategy for marketing through podcasts is to weave advertising in the conversation and therefore increase the credibility and disturb the listener as little as possible.
