Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for inserting dynamic content into podcast episodes. The system first detects a playback of a podcast episode, the podcast episode including at least one media item. Next, the system identifies a content insertion point in the podcast episode for inserting a content item into the podcast episode during the playback of the podcast episode. The system then dynamically inserts the content item into the content insertion point in the podcast episode during the playback of the podcast episode, wherein the podcast episode is configured to pause playback of the podcast episode and initiate playback of the content item when the playback of the podcast episode reaches a playback position associated with the content insertion point.

Technologies for inserting dynamic content into podcast episodes

Among other things, we describe a method that includes receiving a content stream that defines elements of media content, determining that an element of content of the content stream is associated with a first location, determining that an electronic device is at a second location proximate to the first location, and in response, making the element of content available on the electronic device.
