Modern .NET is an open-source evolution of Microsoft's .NET Framework; as such engineers who want to learn about the latest and greatest .NET technologies should start here. New episodes of the podcast are released every two weeks of the year. The podcast is produced in the UK, and takes a break during the summer months. The producers of the show describe it with the following quote: > Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide.

For example, with over 1,200,000 downloads across 190+ countries, you'd be connecting directly with your core customer base of developers actively using .NET, Blazor, ASP.NET Core, and related technologies. And that's not all - you'll establish yourself as a thought leader in the .NET community while achieving cost-effective targeted advertising that puts your message directly into the ears and minds of the developers who matter most to your business.** Big name software development tool vendors should consider sponsoring The Modern .NET Show for several reasons: 1. **Reach**: The Modern .NET Show has a strong and growing listener base that is highly engaged with the show's content. With 179 episodes released to date, the show has been downloaded more than 1,200,000 times in over 190 countries. This means that sponsoring the show provides a unique opportunity to reach a wide and diverse audience of software developers who are actively engaged in the .NET community. 2. **Targeted Audience**: The Modern .NET Show's audience is highly targeted, consisting primarily of software developers who are using or interested in using modern .NET technologies, cross-platform development, and cloud hosting. This makes it an ideal platform for vendors who offer products or services related to these areas, as it allows them to directly target their core customer base. 3. **Branding**: Sponsoring The Modern .NET Show provides an opportunity for vendors to increase their brand visibility within the .NET community. By associating their brand with a respected and authoritative source of information on .NET development, vendors can establish themselves as thought leaders in the space and build credibility with potential customers. 4. **Cost-Effective**: Compared to other forms of advertising, sponsoring a podcast can be a cost-effective way to reach a targeted audience. This is especially true for software vendors who are looking to reach a niche audience of developers who are using or interested in using .NET technologies. ### Target Audience Details Our listeners are interested in hearing about **.NET**, **Blazor**, **ASP.NET Core**, and related technologies; they are also interested in **JavaScript frameworks**, including (but not limited to) **Angular**, **React**, **Vue**, and **Svelte**. They are **AI and ML** curious, with some wanting to try out AI coding tools but unsure which ones to use. They've made the effort to subscribe to the podcast and join the show's ever expanding community of listeners; they are looking to increase their knowledge of these technologies. But they are also people, and would love to hear about how **your product can reduce their daily toil, make them more productive, or help them to be a force multiplier in their organisations**. **Your business or product will become synonymous with being at the forefront of those technologies**, and will be on the tips of the tongues of the developers who listen. The Modern .NET Show goes out to **over 12,000 unique listeners per episode. This could be your audience**, too. ### Advertising Options The **in-episode advertising slots will be heard by every member of the community of listeners**, as they listen through the episode. There are three spots available: #### Pre-roll Advertising - **Duration**: Maximum 30 seconds - **Position**: Very start of the show, first thing listeners hear - **Impact**: The first 30 seconds of an episode is dominated by your message - **Price**: £150 per episode Ad-copy for these slots will be **included at the very start of the show, and will be the first thing that listeners hear** (and the first thing that readers of the show notes will see) when consuming an episode of the podcast. They will be present in the episode ahead of the intro music and the infamous "Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox..." lead line. #### Mid-roll Advertising - **Duration**: Maximum 90 seconds - **Position**: Mid point of episode, during natural conversation break - **Impact**: 90 seconds of focused listener attention during respite from conversation - **Price**: £300 per episode Ad-copy for these slots will be included at **the mid point of an episode, during a natural break in the conversation**.

These free ways take the form of telling people about the show. You could tell them about the website or perhaps sending them a link to an episode that you particularly enjoyed (all of the episodes are on the website, with embedded players and full transcriptions). Other ways that you can support the show without any cost to you: - **Mention the show on social media**: Share about the show on LinkedIn or Bluesky, and we'll be sure to share your posts - **Tell your friends** about the show - **Leave a review** for the show on your podcatcher service - **Let other people know** about the show in whatever way works for you Word of mouth and reviews is how podcasts achieve longevity, and I really want to keep doing this show for everyone in the community. ### Financial Support There are a few ways that *listeners* can, should they wish, support the show financially. This show is created _for_ the community, and it is created at cost. Each episode costs around £175 (GBP) to create and release. Any sponsor money, along with any monetary support from listeners, goes directly into paying for the podcast and related services. At no point does any of the sponsor or listener support money go to the host, it goes directly into paying for the podcast. **Please note: supporting the show financially is in NO WAY REQUIRED in order to continue enjoying the show** #### Patreon Support Patreon is a service which allows you to set up an ongoing, monthly payment of between $1 and $7 (in tiers) to support the show. All patrons get early access to all episodes, regardless of their chosen support tier. Supporting the show via Patreon is entirely voluntary, but greatly appreciated. Visit https://dotnetcore.show/patrons to become a patron. #### Buy Me a Coffee Unlike Patreon, which is an ongoing commitment to support the show, Buy Me a Coffee is a one-time payment to help support it. The "Buy Me A Coffee" page allows listeners to buy virtual coffee's, and once Buy Me A Coffee have taken a percentage, the rest of the money goes directly to paying for the show. Visit https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dotnetcoreshow to support the show. ## Review Process ### Why Reviews Matter Reviewing podcasts is a great way to support them without having to open your wallet. There are two main reasons to write a review: 1. **Direct Feedback**: You can provide direct, and very public, feedback to the podcast creator 2. **Discovery**: Most podcatchers use ratings and reviews as a way of suggesting shows to listeners ### Review Impact Ratings and reviews help with discoverability. For example, in Apple Podcasts, the "Listeners also subscribed to" section is powered by subscriptions from listeners, but Apple Podcasts only picks out relevant shows with good ratings and reviews (3 stars or above with positive sentiment). ### Where to Review The show is available on multiple podcasting platforms that allow user-submitted reviews. Review links are available at https://dotnetcore.show/review/ for various platforms including: - Apple Podcasts - Spotify - Google Podcasts - And other major podcast platforms ## Host Information ### Jamie Taylor The show is hosted by Jamie Taylor, who is also the producer and creator of the podcast.
