90 Miles from Needles is supported by mission-aligned business sponsors who believe deserts are worth protecting.
As a project of the Desert Advocacy Media Network, a nonprofit organization, our podcast delivers independent, place-based journalism about the ecosystems, communities, and challenges facing the American Southwest. Sponsorship helps keep this work on the air — and connects your business with a highly engaged audience that cares deeply about land, water, and community.
Why Sponsor 90 Miles from Needles?

- Thoughtful, host-read acknowledgments woven naturally into episodes, and
- Linked recognition on each sponsored episode’s page at 90milesfromneedles.com, giving your business lasting visibility wherever our stories are heard and shared.
We keep our sponsor list small to protect listener trust and to make sure every partner gets meaningful attention.
