MORE THAN A CATEGORY MATCH

The right context.
A better introduction.

Two podcasts can share a category and speak to completely different people. Lucid looks deeper to find where your show belongs.

We consider your RSS description, recent episodes and intended audience, then assess listener and editorial overlap across eligible podcasts.

Audience interests and relevant topics
Tone, format and listening context
Geography and campaign fit

Our team selects from available inventory. A match is an opportunity for discovery, not a promise of new followers or a specific podcast placement.

Talk to the Lucid team

Do I need to host with Lucid?

No. These growth packages work while you keep your current host. If you want hosting too, choose a hosting + growth bundle during Lucid signup. If you already host with us, manage advertising from your show’s Advertise tab.

Does my podcast need a minimum audience?

There is no minimum download requirement to advertise. Your podcast should be published and publicly available, with a clear audience and a place for people to listen and follow. New shows can prepare their campaign before launch.

What exactly is a promo listen?

A validated listen to your advertisement inside another podcast. It is not a new stream of your own show, a unique person, a follower or a subscriber. Repeat listeners may be included. Those later outcomes are not guaranteed.

Which podcasts will carry my promo?

Lucid reviews your show and audience, then selects relevant placements from available inventory. We consider recent episodes, listener interests and editorial fit. Specific named podcasts are not guaranteed.

Can I upload my own promo?

Yes. Supply an MP3 or WAV, ideally around 30 seconds and no longer than 60 seconds. We review the audio for the campaign. If you prefer, Lucid creates the script, voiceover, music and final mix as part of your package.

When will my campaign begin?

After payment, your approval of the promo and campaign readiness, Lucid arranges suitable placements. We aim to launch approved campaigns within 48 hours, subject to inventory. Delivery runs in scheduled flights; unfinished paid delivery carries forward.

How does cancellation work?

The standalone advertising packages are billed upfront each month and renew until you cancel future renewals. Manage this in your dashboard. Already-paid delivery and your reporting remain available, and unfinished paid delivery carries forward.

Can I earn from ads while promoting my own show?

Yes, if your podcast qualifies for monetization. Advertising introduces your show to other audiences; monetization lets suitable campaigns run in your show. They are separate services with separate eligibility and reporting. Explore monetization.
