That’s the route Spotify is looking to take, buy radio show startups and spin them off to podcasting. Whooshkaa tech is what radio broadcasters are using to chip in ads for their shows.
While radio shows submit their content to Whooshkaa for ads generations, Spotify will be using its Ad Network. This will help to reach a wider audience hence creating more value.
