Secured my first sponsor for Indie Bites
by James McKinvenHaving come up with the idea for this podcast just a few weeks ago, the feedback and support I’ve had from the launch of the Indie Bites podcast has been exceptional. I’m grateful that the Indie Hackers community exists and is so encouraging.
In the past week, I’ve managed to publish 2 episodes, with @charlierward and @harrydry, and also scheduled another 10 recordings over the next few weeks. Including Anne-Laure Le Cunff, Courtland Allen, and Rosie Sherry (plus a bunch more incredible indie hackers).
I also hit a huge milestone just a few episodes in, by securing my first sponsor!
It’s from none other than the community I’ve been a member of since the start and one that provides me with immense value every day, Weekend Club.
Charlie (Weekend Club founder) is taking a chance to sponsor the podcast at such an early stage with just a few episodes released. It means a lot that he believes in me to make the podcast a success in the months and years to come.
I’m looking forward to recording and editing the next few episodes of the podcast, sharing short, bite-sized conversations with the Indie Hackers community.

Congratulations James. Weekend Club is certainly the best decision I've made this month. Also, both your episodes were very well structured. Looking forward to more :)

Congrats @jmckinven & @charlierward on the partnership. Match made in heaven 🚀
Thoroughly enjoying the podcast so far. Often CBA to listen to a whole podcast but the 15min format makes for as easy listen 😂

Hey, congrats, that's nice to hear. Especially since I'm doing something "similar".
It's cool you manage to keep it under 15 minutes. When I announced the video podcast series, I planned to have it 20-30 minutes, but oh boi I just wanted to talk so much about with my guests. First episode with Arvid Kahl was 1h 20m xD
Keep it short, it's definitely a differentiator.

It's an honour to be the first of many Indie Bites sponsors. Full belief that you'll make this format work brilliantly. It makes total sense. Thanks for being a great friend and Weekend Club host/member!
