Cockpit Casual is the weekly podcast companion to one of aviation's most-followed cinematic docu-series. Our audience isn't curious about aviation — they live it. Pilots, aviation professionals, and high-net-worth enthusiasts who spend real money on real gear.
This isn't a general aviation curiosity audience. The core Cockpit Casual listener is a working pilot, aviation professional, or serious enthusiast — someone who has spent real money on avionics, headsets, flight training, and travel. They trust Steve and Bob because Steve and Bob are peers, not presenters.
When we recommend something on air, it lands differently than a standard ad read. We're not reading copy — we're telling our audience what we actually use and why.
The podcast industry average is 40–45%. Our listeners finish nearly four out of five episodes all the way through. That means your ad isn't just delivered — it's heard, in full, by an audience that's already bought in.
"The same crew that moves and flight-tests widebody jets across six continents brings you this show. That credibility doesn't go unnoticed by the people listening."
— Steve Giordano, Co-Host & CreatorWe built this audience on trust. We will only partner with brands we can genuinely endorse — products and services we'd actually use in the cockpit, on the road, or in the air. If it doesn't fit the world our listeners live in, it doesn't fit the show.
That selectivity is a feature, not a limitation. When Steve and Bob recommend something, the audience knows it's real.
"If your product or service isn't something a pilot, frequent traveler, or aviation professional would care about — it's probably not the right fit. We'd rather have fewer sponsors and more credibility."
Three levels of partnership — from single episode placements to full season integration. All reads are host-performed by Steve and Bob. No produced spots, no voiceover artists. Just two pilots talking about something they actually believe in.
Host-read placements woven naturally into the episode. Steve and Bob record every spot in their own voice — genuine endorsements, not scripted reads.
Own a recurring segment of the show. Your brand becomes part of the fabric of Cockpit Casual — heard by the same loyal audience every single week.
The deepest partnership we offer. Full integration across an entire season — your brand doesn't just appear in the show, it becomes part of it.
The podcast is the companion to a cinematic YouTube docu-series with 7.2 million lifetime views. Your sponsorship isn't just a podcast ad — it's association with a premium aviation brand that operates at a different visual level than anything else in the space.
Steve and Bob don't talk about aviation. They move widebody jets across six continents for a living. When they endorse a product, the audience knows it's real. That credibility is worth more than any produced spot.
79% average episode completion versus a 40-45% industry average. Your ad isn't skipped — it's heard, in full, by a loyal audience that has already committed to the full episode. That's rare and it's valuable.
Cockpit Casual: The Podcast is backed by a cinematic YouTube series that has been building an aviation audience for years. Season Partners receive exposure across the full ecosystem — podcast, YouTube, and social — not just a single platform.
The YouTube series has established Nomadic Aviation Group as one of the most recognizable brands in aviation media. That brand equity transfers directly to the podcast and to the brands we partner with.
No rate cards, no automated forms. Just a conversation about whether we're the right fit for your brand. If we think we can genuinely endorse your product to our audience — we'll make it work.
