Sponsor the Podcast & the World News
A story to give your children — to explore and share together.
One sponsor at a time. Your name in front of the parents — and thank you: sponsors are why the stories stay free for every family. A business, a family, or just you can sponsor — families go in under their family name: “Sponsored by the Miller Family.”
With thanks

Part 1 of 3 · Where your name goes
See where your name goes
Your credit speaks to the parents — they choose the stories, press play, and buy for their families. Children are never the audience for a credit. These are photographs of the real pages with a sample sponsor, Maple Street Bakery, in place — and the spoken sample below adds a family sponsor, the Miller Family. Both are examples. The green arrow marks the exact spot your name will sit. Swipe through them, or tap a card or a calendar square to see one up close.
Part 2 of 3 · Pick your spot
Pick your spot
Tap any card to see exactly what it does, where your name appears, and what it costs.
Pick what you like — the price follows your picks. A year costs 10 × a month (two months free). Founding sponsors lock their starting rate for their first term. Thank you for even reading this far.
Every sponsorship includes your sponsor badge for your own website — automatically. It keeps itself current while your sponsorship runs.

Part 3 of 3 · Good to know
Good to know
Pick your spots on the calendar — every price and saving is shown right there as you pick.
Sign in with your free game account, leave your details, and send the application.
Your credit runs — and after each episode you get a report with the links to check it yourself.
That’s the whole picture — the next step is the calendar, where every pick happens.
The calendar — pick your spots
Tap an open square to pick it. Tap a month’s name to open it and read exactly what that month includes. This calendar is the only place picks happen — the next step just asks who you are.
Every row is one place your name can sit for a month. Pick Podcast and Roman’s World News for the same month and the pair costs CA$150, not CA$180 — the saving shows in your list below as you pick. Pick all five places for a month and the month is CA$250. A full year of any pick costs 10 × its month — two months free. The calendar always shows the coming twelve months and rolls forward on its own. Picking here holds nothing: a month becomes Taken only when a sponsor’s application is approved and paid — and Taken is never sold twice.
Your picks so far
- Nothing picked yet — tap any open square on the calendar to start your list.
This is the whole list — nothing is re-asked later. Dates and wording are confirmed by email before you pay, and picking here holds nothing: a month is yours only once your application is approved and paid.
Apply to sponsor
Last step — just who you are. Your picks are already made on the calendar; nothing here asks about placements again. Browsing is free. To apply, sign in — it takes a minute, and your application attaches to your account.
You don't need a business to sponsor the show. Families and individuals sponsor under their own name — the credit reads “Sponsored by the ___ Family,” or simply your name.
Read the Sponsor Terms
Why nothing is ever said to the children. The audience for this show includes children — that's the whole point of it. Canadian advertising standards restrict advertising aimed at children, and Quebec law goes further: it prohibits commercial advertising directed at children under 13. There's a plainer reason underneath the legal one: families trust Roman's Game because the stories stay clean — nobody is selling anything to their kids inside them. So a sponsorship supports the work. It does not buy access to the children, at any price.
- What sponsorship is. A credit, not an ad: a plain "sponsored by" line spoken to the grown-ups in a segment set apart from the story, in show notes, as a credit line on World News posts during your term, and as your name on this page. The paid relationship is always stated.
- Never advertising to children. No messages to the kids, no characters endorsing a product, no exceptions at any price.
- Your term is yours alone. Whatever you buy — an episode, a block, a month, a year — is exclusively yours while it runs.
- We approve every sponsor. Family-friendly businesses only; we may decline any business, and may accept, decline, or answer any application or offer without obligation. Never: weapons, alcohol, cannabis, gambling, tobacco and vaping, adult businesses, payday loans and quick-cash schemes.
- If we have to end it early, the unused portion is refunded fairly.
- You approve your words. Nothing runs until you've approved the exact wording, in writing.
- Payment is in full before your term starts, by card through a Stripe payment link we send after your wording is approved. Paying confirms your agreement to these terms.
- If we miss a placement, we make it good or refund that portion — your choice, and we tell you either way.
- Proof: one email with links after your placements run — episodes with the exact time your credit is heard, the news posts, your sponsor-page listing.
- No endorsement either way. Sponsoring does not mean we endorse your products, and you may not imply that we do.
- Your name on this page during your term; afterwards it moves to the past-sponsors list.
- The calendar, and your first chance to renew. One calendar is the record; a sold stretch is never resold; a block is held for no one until an application is approved and payment has landed. When your stretch ends, you get the first chance to renew — your deadline comes in your wrap-up email.
- Questions: hello.funderwood@gmail.com.
