How to Join

The Alberta Podcast Network is no longer in business. In case you’re looking to start a podcast network and would like some guidance, here’s what we did:

ELIGIBILITY

If you can answer “yes” to all of the following, please consider filling out an application form.  

• Your episodes come out regularly and predictably;

• You’re willing and able to deliver the ads and send us proof of delivery;

• You’re willing and able to report your download numbers;

• You’re willing and able to promote the network and the sponsors on your other channels;

• You have the legal right to use your music, and you stay on the right side of the law with the rest of your content;

• You don’t have any other sponsorship deals (if you have existing deals, let’s talk);

• You seem like a good home for APN’s sponsors;

• At least one of your hosts is in Alberta.

Each network member is asked to do two things:

• Acknowledge the network in every episode. We require members to state in their podcasts and on their other channels that they are a member of the Alberta Podcast Network.

• Make space for and deliver two ad spots in every episode. The network's program coordinator assigns the ads and provides guidance on what to say. Ads vary, but most are host-read or supplied clips.

Podcasters get paid $25 per episode, provided they deliver the sponsor messages and show proof in a timely manner after each episode release. Payments are made quarterly.

Member podcasts are promoted by the network on all of its channels, both online and in real life. They are cross-promoted by fellow network members.
