the Launch.

We're expanding what a TFTS partnership looks like. Native video on Apple, video-integrated sponsorships on Spotify. A small group of founding partners get in at the start.

Three Things Happening Right Now

TFTS video is about to have a big spring. Here's why the next 60 days are the right time to add video to your partnership.

Apple Podcasts

Apple Podcasts Video Launch Feature

Apple is launching a native video podcast experience and TFTS is positioned for early featured placement. First-movers get prominent platform-level visibility before the feature is saturated with shows.

Early-mover advantage
Spotify

Two Spotify Banner Features

TFTS has two confirmed Spotify editorial banner features in May and June. Our last four features drove a 5–7x lift in plays. These aren't projections. They're scheduled.

May + June confirmed

YouTube Crossing 100K Subscribers

TFTS recently crossed 100,000 YouTube subscribers with strong month-over-month growth, a channel that continues to build as new content attracts new subscribers and surfaces older episodes.

You Know the Show.
Here's What's New.

Video changes the value of your placement.

Your audio ads have been running to one of the most decision-maker-heavy audiences in podcasting. Video adds a new dimension: on-screen product integration and reach across every platform TFTS lives on, all compounding over time as episodes get rediscovered.
