Sponsorship
Partner with The Shift
The Shift with Mike & Joe is a video podcast of real conversations with Eastern Shore musicians, makers and business owners about the shift that changed their lives. The people on the show are your neighbors, and so are the people watching it. If those are your customers, this is where they are.
Local by design
Every guest and every story comes from the Eastern Shore. Our audience is your neighborhood, not a national mailing list.
Video first
Every episode goes out on YouTube and every major audio platform, then gets cut into clips for social.
Produced in house
Image & Sound Media produces the show, so your spot is written, read, and edited properly rather than dropped in.
Who you reach
65.8K views on Facebook in the last 90 days, from 24.7K people. Our biggest towns are Centreville, Stevensville, Chester and Grasonville, and 90% of that audience is 35 or older. Over the same 90 days the show had 35,890 views and 1,318 hours watched on YouTube.
Figures from Meta Business Suite and YouTube Studio, July 13 to October 10, 2026. We don't quote podcast download numbers.

Our current sponsors
The Shift is independent and locally funded. These are the people making it possible right now, and we are grateful for every one of them.
Wayfinders Testicular Health Fund
Be bold. Be brave. Be aware.
Wayfinders is a Maryland nonprofit working to combat testicular cancer in young men through awareness, education, fundraising, and community support. They were the first sponsor to officially back this show, and we are proud to have them on it.
