Disclaimer: All commercial partnerships and sponsorships are subject to compliance with applicable Australian advertising standards, Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) guidelines, and relevant state and federal regulations governing the promotion of medicinal cannabis, psychedelics, and healthcare products. Partners are responsible for ensuring their content and messaging meets all regulatory requirements. The Dispensary Podcast does not provide legal or regulatory advice.
We are currently onboarding a small number of founding partners ahead of the first five launch episodes. Partners who come on board now will have the greatest visibility as the audience builds and the most influence over how their brand is positioned within the show from day one.
We work with one partner per category. This keeps the content editorially independent and ensures your brand isn't sharing space with a direct competitor.
Australia's cannabis and psychedelics industries — alongside healthcare and pharmacy — are growing rapidly, and so is the demand for trusted, professional content. Yet there is still no dedicated B2B podcast serving these emerging regulated sectors. The Dispensary fills that gap.
A Growing Industry
Australia's and the international cannabis and psychedelics sectors are expanding quickly, creating a larger, more engaged audience for specialist content across healthcare and pharmacy as well.
No Direct Competitor
There is no dedicated long-form B2B podcast for Australia's and global cannabis and psychedelics industries, alongside the wider healthcare and pharmacy ecosystem, giving The Dispensary a clear first-mover advantage.
Category Leadership
Founding partners can anchor themselves at the centre of the conversation and build authority before these markets become crowded.
If your brand belongs in this conversation, now is the time to secure your place.
