Partners
Help us investigate what comes next.
Deprecated Human works with organizations whose products, services, expertise, or missions can genuinely help the people we’re reaching.
Partnership can go beyond conventional advertising. Sponsors can support independent research, public podcast episodes, community programming, exclusive member experiences, useful resources, and offers that provide tangible value to members.
In return, partners have an opportunity to build an authentic relationship with a highly specific community of experienced professionals—not simply purchase impressions.

Common questions
Is podcast advertising effective?
It can be, when the fit is credible. Podcast listeners tend to follow hosts they trust for years, and a host-read message arrives in that context—without the clutter and skipping that feed-based advertising faces. We only take sponsors whose offer genuinely helps the people we reach, which is what makes a placement land.
How much does it cost to advertise on a podcast?
Podcast advertising rates vary widely by show, audience, format, and duration. Because our partnerships often go beyond a spot in the feed—underwriting research, community programming, member experiences—we scope each arrangement individually. Current rates and formats are in our partnership prospectus.
Do you offer traditional podcast ads, or something different?
Both. Host-read placements are available where the fit is credible, and many partners choose deeper formats—supporting an investigation, funding member programming, or offering real value to members. The prospectus walks through every option.
Partnership philosophy
Trust matters.
Partners don’t buy access to members or their data.
They don’t determine research findings or editorial conclusions.
And we aren’t interested in promoting products simply because someone is willing to pay for exposure.
We work with organizations when there is a credible reason to believe the relationship can create value for the people participating in this community.
Editorial independence remains with Deprecated Human.
