- The Big Picture: overall digital audio advertising revenue reached $2.3 billion in 2018, up 22.9% from $1.8 billion in 2017, according to a broader IAB/PWC report on internet advertising released last month. Podcasting is counted in that mix, and is explicitly mentioned as a major driver of that growth.
