1. A system to insert supplemental audio content into primary audio content via digital assistant applications, comprising:
a record indexer component executed on a data processing system having one or more processors to maintain, on a database, an audio recording of a content publisher and a content spot marker set by the content publisher, the content spot marker specifying a content spot defining a time or time window within the audio recording;
a natural language processor component executed on the data processing system to:
receive an audio data packet including an input audio signal that is detected by a sensor of a client device;
parse the input audio signal from the audio data packet to determine that the input audio signal corresponds to a request for the audio recording from the content publisher; and
identify, based on the request determined from the input audio signal, the audio recording of the content publisher from the database;

a content placement component executed on the data processing system to:
identify, responsive to the determination that the input audio signal corresponds to the request for the audio recording, an identifier associated with the client device as a content selection parameter; and
select, for the content spot of the audio recording, an audio content item of a content provider from a plurality of audio content items using the content selection parameter; and

an action handler component executed on the data processing system to:
insert the audio content item into the content spot of the audio recording specified by the content spot marker;
generate an action data structure including the audio recording inserted with audio content item at the time defined by the content spot marker; and
transmit the action data structure to the client device to present the audio recording inserted with the audio content item at the content spot.
