Hi, my name is Vincent Horn and I'm the host of a podcast called Buddhist Geeks. Buddhist Geeks is one of the top Buddhist podcasts in the world, and has been since we launched in 2007. We've received an average of ~1 million unique downloads / year over the past 10 years as we've explored the evolution of Buddhist-based practice in the age of the network, especially as it relates to evolving tech trends (ex. Meditation in Virtual Reality, Contemplative Technologies, Technodelics, etc.) We have a highly techie audience, who are also directly tied into a subculture (Western Buddhism) which is just now starting to become aware of the crytocurrency revolution.
Little backstory: I got into the crypto space 5 years ago when one of my websites was snipped by some Ukrainian domain pirates and they sold it back to me in Bitcoin. Since then I've had a huge interest in the larger space, and have been aware of Dash since the early days of its origin. One of my close friends is a masternode in the network and so I've followed the evolution of Dash closely, have invested in Dash, and consider it one of the top projects in the space.
I've been thinking of crafting a proposal to the Dash masternodes suggesting that Dash become the primary podcast sponsor of Buddhist Geeks. I'd like to get feedback on this proposal idea, so I can refine it, hearing from you to see if you think it makes sense to submit it.
Here's my initial pre-proposal idea:
Dash, as primary sponsor of Buddhist Geeks, would get a 30-60 second intro ad spot & outro ad spot on all episodes, including the show archive (close to 400 episodes). We're currently seeing an average of about 60-100k downloads / month. We'd also link to Dash in our dedicated newsletter, which goes out 1-2x/month to a list of 15k people. I'd be asking ~10 Dash/month for this, for at least 3-6 months (to see how it goes).
All thoughts/suggestions/questions welcome.
Sincerely,
Vince Horn
