Hello Sarah!
This is Frankie; a daily listener of the DTNS podcast, writing from Mastodon.
Today, while listening to the Duolingo AI episode on AntennaPod, I noticed an ad at the beginning. It was one of the scariest ads I’ve ever heard — not so much because of the content, but because of how relevant it was.
It was an Indian ad: delivered in an Indian accent, selling gold (which people often buy during a recently concluded Indian festival), and specifically mentioning stores located in my very city!
It completely freaked me out. Can you help me understand what kind of technology is being used to personalize podcast ads like this? And is there any way to prevent this level of personalization?
Thank you!
P.S. I really enjoy the pod. 🙂
