If you’ve ever questioned the accuracy of PPM or Diary measurement, just imagine trying to make sense of downloads, logs, listening time, and bytes and explain that technology to your advertisers. That’s what public radio is trying to do. And, why not, they’ve been the most successful broadcasters at podcasting so far. And the more reliable the measurement, the more money not only public radio will generate, the more money all podcasters will generate. And, at the end of the day, every podcaster wants to generate revenue for their work.
