March Newsletter from BackBeat Media


The BackBeat Newsletter

Here comes your dose of knowledge for the month.

March is the month where your inbox says Q2 is coming, but your calendar still thinks it’s Groundhog Day.

But here at BackBeat Media, we’ve been busy connecting fiercely independent podcasters with brands that get it—the kind that value substance over scale, loyalty over likes, and voices over algorithms.

Whether you're plotting your next episode or ad campaign, we’re right there with you—boots on the ground (and headphones in).

WATCH NOW

Earth Ancients chronicles the growing (and often suppressed) evidence of known and unknown civilizations, their ruined cities, and artifacts developed from advanced science and technology. Erased from the pages of time, these cultures discovered and charted the heavens, developed earth-centric sciences, and unleashed advancements that parallel and, in many cases, surpass our own. Join us and discover our lost history.

Relax or fall asleep to calmly narrated stories about The Titanic, Pyramids of Egypt, Henry Ford, Joan of Arc, Loch Ness Monster, Easter Island, Jesse Owens, Ancient Greece, Gold Rush, Gilligan’s Island, Nazi Loot, Marco Polo, Florence Nightingale, Jackie Robinson, Balloon Flight, Mongols, Kublai Khan, Pilgrims, Reindeer, Salt, Coal, Rubber, Nitroglycerin, Treasure Hunts, Prison Escapes, and much more.

As March tiptoes into April (hopefully with a little more sunshine), we’re reminded that good things grow when you plant intentionally—and podcasting is no different.

The relationships you’re building with your audience?

That’s the soil where everything meaningful happens.

We’re just here to help you water it—with the right sponsors, the right strategy, and a dash of BackBeat know-how.

Until next month, keep doing what you do best: showing up, standing out, and sounding great.
