Megaphone (formerly Panoply Media) is a podcast technology company owned by Spotify, focusing on ad-insertion and hosting. It was formerly an audio content producer started by The Slate Group as Panoply Media, and later shifted to focusing solely on helping companies with production, advertising, and audience metrics.

Slate itself began podcasting in 2005 with the Slate Political Gabfest. Panoply Media launched in Feb 2015. Slate acquired dynamic ad-insertion company Audiometric in August 2015, and made the functionality available to other companies in January 2016 under the moniker "Megaphone".

As of February 2017, Panoply had published more than 100 podcasts through partnerships with Sports Illustrated, The Huffington Post, New York magazine, Time, Inc., Vox, Real Simple, The Wall Street Journal, and Politico. It has produced branded content for Purina, Umpqua Bank, Prudential and Starbucks.
