The The Alien Podcast. Sponsorship and Ethics

Sponsorship Selection and Content Integrity 

1. Relevance and Alignment: We partner with sponsors whose products or services align with our podcast's values, tone, and content. However, our sponsors might not agree with things said on every episode and generally remain neutral if any political conversations are brought up.  

2. Content Control: We maintain creative control over our content, ensuring that sponsorship partnerships do not compromise our editorial integrity. 

3. No Compromised Content: We do not create content that promotes or endorses a sponsor's product or service in a way that is misleading or deceptive.   

Listener Trust and Respect  

1. Respect for Listeners: We respect our listeners' intelligence, time, and trust, avoiding manipulative or coercive tactics. 

2. No Misleading Information: We provide accurate and truthful information about sponsored products or services, avoiding misleading or exaggerated claims. 

3. Listener Feedback: We encourage and respond to listener feedback, ensuring that concerns or complaints are addressed in a timely and transparent manner.   

Compliance and Accountability   

1. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guidelines: We comply with the FTC's guidelines on sponsorship disclosure and native advertising. 

2. Industry Standards: We adhere to industry standards and best practices for podcast sponsorships and content creation. 

3. Accountability: We hold ourselves accountable for upholding this Code of Ethics, and we address any violations or concerns promptly and transparently. By adopting and upholding this Code of Ethics, we aim to maintain the trust and loyalty of our listeners, while also ensuring that our sponsorship partnerships are transparent, honest, and respectful.
