In Hollywood is being <a href="http://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood/">lauded</a> for being a movie that effectively transports movie-goers to Los Angeles in 1969. And, a large part of creating that experience is the movie's soundtrack. It is inspired by recordings of an actual radio channel from the time — even though that wasn't the original plan for the Brad Pitt and Leonardo di Caprio starrer. <div type="image" title="Once Upon A Time...

In Hollywood in London&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>
 In Spotify's new Quentin Tarantino podcast, the director discloses how he has been collecting his own snippets of music for the soundtrack but instead completely scrapped that plan once he heard over seven hours KHJ Radio over and over again. Listening to the recordings, he realised that wanted a KHJ Radio vibe for his movie. "That's what it was like in Southern California. You listened to the radio all the time, you didn't turn around looking for different songs, you didn't want it down when the ads came on — you just talked over them," he says in conversation with David Wild of the Rolling Stones. <div type="image" title="Quentin Tarantino" msid="70537777" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;U.S. filmmaker Quentin Tarantino gestures during the Italian Premiere and red carpet of the movie &amp;quot;Once Upon A Time...in Hollywood,&amp;quot; in Rome, Italy, Friday, Aug. 2, 2019.

 Listening to KHJ Radio is also when Tarantino decided that he liked the idea of the radio jockeys being the period narrators. Tarantino is known for his haunting soundtracks. His famous movie Kill Bill had revived Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang, giving the 70s song a new edge. Capturing the sound of KHJ While Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood tell its story in 1969 — the soundtrack isn't inspired by the greatest hits of the time. Tarantino explains that KHJ Radio had its own way of coming up with the Top 40 which didn't mean repeating the Billboard Top 40. Instead, KHJ used to take into account what was popular in the record stores, what their listeners requested and inputs from the KHJ people themselves. In the end, some of the songs on the radio weren't necessarily popular all over the US, but they were definitely popular in Los Angeles. This is the edge that this radio station's soundtracks will bring to the movie. So, when Tarantino was working on the soundtrack for Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood, he admits to gravitating towards sounds that resonated with the California KHJ sound that didn't break out onto the national stage. KHJ Radio boomed to success in 1965 with radio jockey, Bill Drake's formula — less talk, less commercials and more music. And, another thing that was unique about KHJ radio was how it could turn its commercials into songs that sounded a lot like the tracks that were being played. This is reflected in Heaven Sent perfume's jingle called Suddenly that features in Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood's soundtrack. It's one of the best song cues in the movie, according to Tarantino.

We talked to five who are hot on the space about why they're big on it and which companies they're betting on.<h2>There's a market for paid audio</h2><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/luminary-podcast-startup-backlash-explained-2019-4">$100 million podcast startup Luminary faced backlash</a> over its plan to become the "Netflix of podcasts," but VCs still see a lot of potential for paid-for podcasts.Comcast Ventures is an investor in TuneIn, an online radio streaming service that was early in putting audio content behind a paywall.Amy Banse, managing director and head of funds at Comcast Ventures, said that now that people been trained to pay for video and other online content, the idea of paying for podcasts isn't far behind. "People have been trained to pay for video, and I think they'll pay for audio content as well," Banse said.Lightspeed partner Nicole Quinn said this is already happening in China, where a <a href="https://www.marketplace.org/2018/09/13/fomo-china-7-billion-industry/">burgeoning paid audio industry is at the core of an estimated $7.3 billion knowledge economy</a>."We're always thinking cross-border," she said. "That trend is coming to the US, where there's premium content people will pay for."<h2>It's a way for companies to market to customers</h2>Podcast advertising is projected to more than double to $1 billion advertising by 2021 from 2018, <a href="https://www.emarketer.com/content/podcast-advertising-revenue-will-surpass-1-billion-by-2021">according to eMarketer</a>. Most of that advertising has traditionally been direct-response, but it's becoming more mainstream as more advertisers are drawn to the intimacy of podcasting and its loyal audiences. Marketers aren't lost on the trend. Dana Settle is a founding partner at Greycroft, whose portfolio includes Wondery, the company behind podcasts "Dirty John," "American History Tellers," and "Business Wars.""We think as a medium, it's super interesting and a big growth area, in terms of platforms but in the ways our consumer companies are using podcasting to engage their audience in really interesting ways," she said.<h2>It fits with people's behavior</h2>In addition to consumer goods makers, media companies are using audio as a relatively low-cost way to test out the market for people's interest in a subject before investing more heavily in content creation. One of the best examples of this is The New York Times, whose "The Daily" has quickly become a top news podcast."Audio is going to become an increasingly big deal," said Fred Wilson, cofounder and partner at Union Square Ventures. "What The New York Times has done with 'The Daily' is really incredible ... A lot of people, that's the only New York Times content they consume."He noted that the popularity of Apple's Airpods will help propel audio as a medium.Heather Hartnett, CEO and general partner at Human Ventures, sees audio being a good way for media companies to test content, but also warned that the delivery of audio content is still archaic and hard to measure."We are still in the early days of podcasting," she said.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/intelligence/bi-intelligence-daily?IR=T&amp;itm_source=businessinsider&amp;itm_medium=ctgr_bii&amp;itm_term=ctgr_subscription&amp;itm_content=apple&amp;itm_campaign=bi-intelligence-daily"></a> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/quentin-tarantino-movies-steals-cinema-homage-reference-2019-7">How Golden Globes winner Quentin Tarantino steals from other movies</a></h3>
