Room to tell the whole story.
For nearly two decades, Podcast Answer Man has helped podcasters make better decisions about the tools, services, ideas, and companies shaping the industry.
A sponsored conversation gives your company room to go deeper. You can explain what you do, who you serve, how you think, what makes your approach different, and where you believe you fit.
The goal is for listeners to come away with a clearer understanding of your work and enough context to decide for themselves whether what you offer is relevant to them.
The conversation
What you are
sponsoring.
For an investment of $1,500, Cliff will host one substantive sponsored conversation on Podcast Answer Man.
A 45 to 60 minute, audio-only episode with room to explore what a short advertisement cannot.
The problem your company exists to solve.
The people you serve and what they are trying to accomplish.
The ideas, decisions, and convictions behind your work.
The questions or objections that are difficult to address in a short advertisement.
The people and story behind the product, service, or company.
What podcasting professionals should understand before deciding whether your work is relevant to them.
The goal is to create an episode that would still be worth hearing without the sponsorship.
Why Podcast Answer Man
Two decades of
podcasting experience.
Cliff Ravenscraft has spent two decades working in and around podcasting.
He has taught creators, advised business owners, spoken at industry events, built deep relationships across the podcasting ecosystem, and helped people think more clearly about how they use their voice, ideas, and media.
He brings context, informed curiosity, and an understanding of the questions podcasting professionals are likely to ask.
Listeners get to hear the thinking behind your work. They can evaluate the fit for themselves.
After the conversation
The value beyond one episode.
A strong sponsored conversation can continue creating value after its initial release.
A lasting resource
Your episode becomes part of the Podcast Answer Man archive and gives your team a long-form resource that explains the company in human language.
Room for nuance
Listeners can hear how your team thinks, understand distinctions that matter to serious buyers, and get answers to questions a short commercial cannot carry.
An educational association
Your company participates in substantive educational content with a trusted voice in the podcasting space.
A deeper understanding of your work.
The conversation also gives Cliff a deeper understanding of your company. That understanding can matter later when he is speaking, consulting, advising, or talking privately with someone who has a need your company may be able to meet.
There is no promise that Cliff will recommend your company. There is value in making sure that, when a relevant conversation occurs, he understands what you actually do and whom you serve.
The sponsorship
What you receive.
- One pre-conversation planning exchange to identify the most useful angle.
- One substantive recorded conversation with Cliff Ravenscraft.
- Clear disclosure that the episode is sponsored.
- Publication through Podcast Answer Man and its continuing episode archive.
- Space to explain the problem, philosophy, people, and work behind your company.
- Cliff's independent questions and editorial judgment.
Editorial integrity
An honest conversation.
The sponsorship pays for participation in the conversation. It does not purchase Cliff's opinion, an endorsement, or an agreement for positive coverage.
Cliff retains editorial control over the questions, conversation, title, framing, and finished episode. The sponsorship will be disclosed. Honest questions remain part of the process.
This protects the listener, the show, and the sponsor. A conversation is more credible when no one is pretending that payment bought a conclusion.
Is this a good fit?
This is designed for a company, product, service, or leader whose work is relevant to people who care about podcasting.
Before accepting a sponsorship, Cliff asks one essential question.
Would this still be a worthwhile Podcast Answer Man conversation if no one were paying for it?
If the answer is yes, there may be a strong fit.
