    Mar 18 2026

    #29 Have you ever thought, "if only I could get a sponsor for my podcast, then I can make it all worthwhile"? You might think you need 10,000, 20,000, or even 50,000 downloads every month to enable you to get a sponsor worth any decent money, but let me give you a tip, that may not be true.


    By listening to this episode, you will learn exactly how I secured a headline sponsor for a new podcast I haven't even recorded a single episode on yet.


    A sponsor isn't the be-all and end-all, but it can certainly pay for your production costs and make your time spent on it worthwhile.


    In this episode of Podcasting Efficiently, I’m telling you exactly what I did so you can do the same too.


    Whether you are looking for podcast growth or just starting out, these podcasting tips will show you how to get a sponsor regardless of your download count.

  • Apple Announce Video: Why I'm Still Betting on Audio
    Mar 5 2026

    #28 Apple just dropped a major update for video podcasts, but does that mean your audio-only show is a thing of the past?


    While Spotify and YouTube have been pushing video for years, Apple’s move to support HLS video changes the landscape for every creator. In this episode, we look past the hype to see what the data, and your audience, actually want. I break down why the 'video first' trend could be a trap for your brand and why high-quality audio is becoming a rare, valuable competitive advantage.


    Key Takeaways:

    • The Apple HLS Update: What it actually means for your RSS feed.
    • Why video-first shows are often alienating their most loyal audio listeners.
    • Understanding why big tech wants you on camera (and whether you want join in or stay off it).
    • How to double down on the audio experience to build deeper authority and credibility in your industry.


    Ready to elevate your production? If you're a business leader looking to turn your ideas into a world-class podcast, whether that's audio-only or video, visit ElephantMedia.co to see how we can help you build authority and drive growth.
