Give listeners a reason to come back every week.
And give your sponsors proof they actually engaged. SoundQuest embeds a weekly interactive challenge directly into your episode format.
58% of listeners drop off before the 25-minute mark.
Podcasters have no reliable, in-format mechanic to bring listeners back next week. Every drifted listener is lost CPM for the host and a lost impression for the sponsor.

“This week’s challenge is brought to you by [Sponsor].”
Each week’s challenge is presented by a sponsor. That sponsor covers the flat A$125/week fee in exchange for in-episode brand placement — so the podcaster doesn’t pay a cent out of pocket. Secure a sponsor and the whole engagement format is free to run on your show.
The full weekly engagement format at no out-of-pocket cost once a sponsor is secured — plus a recurring reason for listeners to come back.
Verified engagement data and a weekly “brought to you by” brand placement read into the format — real, measurable attention.
