Audience Interests

The Undefined.fm audience is primarily advanced software developers. In fact, we consciously do not cater to entry-level developers, as there are lots of other podcasts that focus on that audience. Instead, we approach each show as a peer-to-peer conversation with the world’s best engineers. Thus, half of the shows focus on advanced technical skills or methods, while the others focus on soft skills and/or topics tangentially related to development.

The audience's technical interests include, but are not limited to:

  • JavaScript frameworks such as React, Angular, and Vue
  • CSS libraries, frameworks
  • GraphQL
  • JavaScript utility libraries
  • Server-side / universal JavaScript
  • Graphics and Data viz (d3, canvas)
  • Alternative syntax/supersets TypeScript, Flow, Reason, Elm
  • Full stack engineering
  • Build tooling and developer experience
  • Software design patterns and methodologies

On the soft skills/culture side, the audience has an appetite for the following topics:

  • Self-improvement & productivity
  • Freelancing and running small businesses
  • Engineering management and team building
  • Tech culture
  • Office life
  • Remote work
  • Marketing & passive income
  • Work/life balance
  • Fitness and nutrition
  • Premium products — Jared and Ken feature top “Picks” each episode which is a product or service they’ve been enjoying

What You’ll Get & Pricing

We have found that we get the best results for our advertisers when they sponsor at least three shows. Currently each sponsor spot is $1,000 USD per episode with a minimum of three episodes, though this price will increase as our audience does. Single show sponsorships are $1,200.

As part of the sponsorship package, you'll get:

  1. A sponsorship section at the top of the episode show notes. These notes will be listed on both the Undefined.fm website as well as on each user's mobile device as they listen to the podcast. This is a great opportunity to list any coupon codes or unique links you'd like listeners to click on.
  2. A mention and single line at the top of the show. For example, Jared or Ken might say, This episode is sponsored by Clubhouse.io. It’s my new favorite agile project management software; we switched from Jira to Clubhouse around 3 months ago and haven’t looked back and we’ll talk about why partway through the show.
  3. A 1-2 min sponsor spot midway during the episode. While we can do a regular ad read, we have found that having Ken or Jared talk about the product or service and their experience with it gives it authenticity.
  4. A thank-you tweet from @theundefinedio with a link to your product or service from the show's Twitter account.
