    Ad stitching

    Dynamically inserting host-read sponsor audio into an episode at fixed insertion points without re-editing the source file.

    The technical pattern that lets one master episode carry different sponsor reads to different audiences (geographic, demographic, or time-windowed). Dynamic insertion via hosts like Megaphone, Art19, or Acast. Ad stitching is what lets a show monetize the back catalog — a 2024 episode can carry a 2026 sponsor read without re-uploading.
