In this episode of The Podcast Advertising Playbook, host Heather Osgood is joined by Jeff Stormer, Talent Development Manager at True Native Media. With nearly a decade of experience in podcasting, Jeff brings a creator-first perspective to talent recruitment, onboarding, and show development.
Jeff shares how his passion for meaningful conversations and relationship-building led him to podcast advertising—and how that same passion fuels his approach to identifying and supporting podcast creators. From evaluating brand readiness to understanding evolving creator mindsets, Jeff offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to thrive on a podcast ad network.
You’ll hear Jeff’s insights on:
The qualities that make a podcast “brand-ready”
What advertisers are looking for in creators today
Why excitement and intentionality matter more than perfection
How onboarding works at True Native Media and why it's built for long-term success
Whether you’re a podcaster looking to monetize or an advertiser curious about what goes into a show’s ad potential, this episode provides a rare look at the human side of talent development in the podcast space.
