<description>&lt;p&gt;On this episode of Word on the Square, Chief Communications &amp;amp; Brand Officer at Acast, Lizzy Pollott. She talks over the monetization of podcasting, how creators should use the format -- and how artificial intelligence may impact the world of audio production.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Podcasting as a medium is so way underserved by advertisers as compared to how effective and engaging it is -- and it's changing massively," she says on the show.
