I’m thrilled to announce that RSS.com has stepped forward as our first Episode Sponsor for Our Beloved Medium, our upcoming six-part audio documentary series celebrating the rich history of radio and its evolution into modern podcasting. This partnership feels particularly meaningful given RSS.com’s commitment to advancing the podcasting medium through innovation and accessibility.

For those who haven’t been following along, Our Beloved Medium is an ambitious project that Stuart and I have undertaken to chronicle the fascinating journey of audio storytelling. We’re aiming to raise $100,000 to produce a professional-grade documentary series that captures the essence of radio’s impact on society and its transformation into the podcasting landscape we know today.

What makes RSS.com’s support especially fitting is their alignment with our core mission. As a podcast hosting platform that’s pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in podcasting – from their implementation of cutting-edge Podcasting 2.0 features to their user-friendly interface – they understand the importance of preserving and advancing our audio heritage.

Their platform embodies what we’re trying to celebrate with Our Beloved Medium: the democratization of audio content creation. Just as radio revolutionized how we share stories and connect with audiences, RSS.com is making podcast hosting accessible to creators of all levels, whether you’re just starting out or running a professional operation.

The $2,500 Episode Sponsor commitment from RSS.com represents more than just financial support – it’s a vote of confidence from a company that’s actively shaping the future of podcasting. This sponsorship will help fund crucial elements of our production, from research and writing to sound design and voice acting. Every dollar brings us closer to our vision of creating a compelling narrative about the medium we all love.

We’re still on our journey to reach our $100,000 goal, and having RSS.com on board as our first Episode Sponsor feels like a significant milestone. Their support validates our belief that there’s genuine interest in exploring and preserving the history of audio storytelling while looking toward its future.

For other brands in the podcasting and radio space who might be interested in aligning with this project, we still have Episode Sponsorship opportunities available. Our Beloved Medium isn’t just a documentary series – it’s a love letter to audio storytelling, and we’d love to partner with companies who share our passion for this medium.

You can learn more about supporting Our Beloved Medium through our Buy Me a Coffee page, where we offer various levels of support from individual donations to full episode sponsorships. Whether you’re a potential sponsor or just someone who believes in preserving audio history, every contribution helps us tell this important story.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our pre-production journey toward our Summer 2025 launch. And thank you, RSS.com, for believing in our vision and being the first to step forward as an Episode Sponsor!
