Podcast Presentation Partnerships

Podcast Presentation Partnerships

Put your brand at the heart of the conversation. As a presentation partner of the Straight To The Source podcast, you align with trusted, expert-led content and reach a highly engaged audience of chefs, restaurateurs, foodservice operators and hospitality decision makers from across Australia.

Choose a dedicated eight-episode series, with themes and guests curated around your business goals – from culinary innovation and foodservice operations to industry trends and supplier spotlights. Every episode is professionally produced and hosted by Tawnya Bahr or Lucy Allon, with your brand acknowledged post-intro and again at the episode wrap-up. Because these acknowledgements are baked into the episode rather than dynamically inserted, your brand keeps generating visibility for as long as the episode is live.

Your partnership extends well beyond the audio. It includes:

  • Brand acknowledgement and a click-through URL in show notes across Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube
  • Inclusion in episode eDMs, with click-through links and a clear call to action
  • Your brand tagged across all episode posts on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn
  • Dedicated social media features showcasing your brand throughout the series
  • A full performance report covering reach, engagement and partnership visibility across every channel

More than sponsorship, it’s a genuine association with quality storytelling and two of the industry’s most respected voices – a powerful way to build brand awareness, credibility and lasting connection with the people who matter most to your business.

Andre Sandison - Leading Pastry Chef

For years, Straight To The Source has been the benchmark for connecting chefs with Australia’s producers, from my first truffle hunt more than 13 years ago to today.

They know the people, the produce and the stories behind it.

They don’t just know the source. They are the source.

Martin Boetz - Short Grain Restaurant

Need a hard-to-find ingredient? A trusted supplier? A straight answer on what’s happening in the market? They know who to call, where to look and how to get it done. They understand kitchens, producers and the realities of hospitality. Their consulting is practical, sharp and seriously well connected, and the podcast brings that knowledge to a much bigger audience.

I’ve been part of the Straight To The Source network since starting Singing Magpie Produce, and I’m incredibly grateful for the support, strategic insight and genuine advocacy they’ve given us along the way. Their ability to connect producers with the right people, broaden our reach and offer practical, trusted advice has been invaluable. Straight To The Source genuinely champions producers and the stories behind Australian food.

I’ve worked with Tawnya Bahr and the Straight To The Source team for years across consulting, facilitation and ingredient sourcing. They understand the industry, they know the people, and they know how to make things happen. The podcast has taken that influence even further. Sharp, trusted, real and deeply connected to Australian food and hospitality.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Straight To The Source on a number of projects, as well as being a guest on their podcast. They are genuine advocates for the industry: grounded, inclusive and trusted across the food and hospitality community. Whether through their consultancy work or the podcast, they bring people together, ask the right questions and create meaningful connections.

A rare duo, for sure.
