Genres, like generations, are garbage.

Acast’s CEO gets it

food podcasts account for less than 1% of mentions of food delivery companies. Yet food podcasts were receiving roughly half of the ad spend from food delivery brands. That’s a fundamental mismatch.

Why? Because delivery is not a food passion behavior. Delivery is a time-management solution.

Why over what.
Matching industry to genre is the lazy route.
Matching solution to mindset is the way.
