Questions & Answers.

See all FAQs

Is a podcast sponsorship the same as being an editorial guest?

No. A sponsorship supports content or placements you plan with us. A commissioned interview is its own production. Choosing editorial guests is a separate decision. You’ll know which arrangement you have from the start.

What content will we receive?

Your scope lists the finished pieces, how many of each, their formats, and the plan for delivering them. A full interview, a short clip, a recap video, and an article are separate pieces.

Will you publish the content on your channels?

Production and publishing are separate choices. Before anything is published, you’ll know the channels, placements, timing, and who handles each part.

Can our team reuse the content?

Tell us how you want to use it. Your usage terms should cover organic posting, paid advertising, full replays, raw footage, and any other use you have in mind.

Will we be able to review the content?

Your scope explains how review works, who approves the content, when feedback is due, and the revisions included. You’ll know all of it before production starts.

Do you guarantee views or leads?

We can spell out the work and the placements you plan with us. We do not promise a set number of views, leads, or sales unless a specific written agreement expressly provides for a measurable commitment. Ask for current audience information when planning your sponsorship.

Bring a Clear Story and a Real Point of View.
