How it is used

For a podcast episode the first pod is usually the pre-roll break and the last the post-roll break. Leave the default when the position varies.

Allowed values

Value	Meaning
`-1`	Last pod in the content stream: The last pod in the content stream, such as the post-roll break.
`0`	Any pod in the content stream: Any pod; the seller makes no claim about the pod's position. This is the default.
`1`	First pod in the content stream: The first pod in the content stream, often the pre-roll break.

Example

Where the field sits in a payload, with everything else left out:

{
  "id": "req-1",
  "imp": [
    {
      "audio": {
        "podseq": -1
      }
    }
  ]
}

Common mistakes

Sending the break's ordinal number. Only -1, 0, and 1 are defined.
Confusing it with Audio.slotinpod, the spot's position inside the pod.
