On this episode of The Podcast Top 5, hosted by Emily Soule, we’re breaking down Canada’s growing audio habits, why podcasts still have room to grow, and the controversy surrounding a new app that removes podcast ads.

Plus, we look at how brands are adapting podcasts for Japanese audiences, YouTube’s $40 billion advertising empire, and this week’s podcast pick: The Toast, a hilarious pop culture show covering celebrity news, internet drama, and everything everyone is talking about.
