A full 8-episode flight at $3,200 equals roughly 29 LinkedIn leads at typical B2B CPL, or fewer than 4 trade-show leads. Unlike those channels, your ad lives in every sponsored episode permanently. As the back catalog reaches new listeners, the sponsorship keeps working for months and years.
Rated 5 stars across 144+ listener reviews — Apple Podcasts (36) and Spotify (108).

Category exclusivity is included on the Presenting Sponsor tier for the full flight. We agree on what counts as a "direct competitor" on the kickoff call so there's no ambiguity later. Starter and Value tiers don't include exclusivity, but we'll flag any adjacent-industry deals before committing.
You provide the talking points, value prop, and any hard "do not say" lines. Conor writes the ad in his voice, reads it live into the episode, and sends a preview for your sign-off before publish. All ads are host-read — no pre-produced audio.
We'll share aggregate downloads and YouTube views at the end of your flight. Show-notes link clicks come through on your side via the UTM parameters on your sponsor link, so you can track those directly in your analytics. We'll also pass along qualitative signal we pick up (listener replies mentioning the brand, guests asking about the product).
Typical timeline is 1–2 weeks from first contact: kickoff call, ad draft, sign-off, then the first read is baked into the next unrecorded episode. We can rush if there's a specific launch or window you're targeting.
Limited sponsor slots available at introductory pricing — Q3 2026 booking now open.
