a clear place in the conversation

One show.
Room for your brand.

01 / THE PLACEMENT

Show up consistently.

One 30-second commercial in every Monday–Friday episode. Your placement travels with the full video and audio editions as they are published.

02 / THE FORMAT

Four natural pauses.

Four two-minute commercial breaks, with four sponsors in each. Eight advertising minutes in a target 90-minute show. Positions rotate across episodes.

03 / THE RELATIONSHIP

Build something local.

A recurring partnership with an Asheville show opening its table to people from every walk of life. We’ll discuss fit, creative, pricing and launch availability together.

25 pours already in the glass

A real show.
A bigger chapter.

Cory Short has spent 25 episodes asking for the story people haven’t told. The full-time era brings that curiosity to a new conversation every weekday, starting November 2.

what we believe

Good conversations don’t come with a list of approved subjects.

All walks of life. No subject off limits. Sponsorship supports the show; guest selection and the conversation stay independent.

after the conversation

The cameras stop.
The table stays.

After the 10:30–noon recording, Cory and the guests sit down to lunch. We’re looking for an Asheville-area food partner to make that daily ritual possible.

Let’s feed the conversation ↗
12:00PM +

A good meal.
Even better company.

One daily provider, a weekly restaurant rotation, or a brand underwriting the meals. Let’s find the right fit.

  • Lunch after filming, Monday–Friday
  • Cory, up to two guests, plus the agreed crew count
  • Dietary needs and delivery arranged in advance
  • Partner recognition agreed together

A separate hospitality opportunity. Lunch is off camera unless guests agree otherwise.

before we pour

A few good questions.

What does a founding sponsorship cost?

We’re discussing packages directly with prospective partners. Ask for the sponsor brief and a proposal covering term, creative, placements and reporting. Pricing and category availability are confirmed before any commitment.

Do I need an existing commercial?

Bring your existing 30-second spot, or tell us what you need. We’ll agree the video and audio versions, production scope, fees and approval timeline before the campaign begins.

Is a guest appearance included?

No. Sponsor commercials and editorial conversations are separate. We book guests for their stories and perspectives.

When does the new schedule begin?

Weekday releases begin Monday, November 2, 2026. The first studio recording is targeted for October 22. The existing 25-episode archive is available now on YouTube.
