“The Shawn Ryan Show” Inks Strategic Partnership Deal with Daylight Media, Including Ad Sales and Distribution

It was announced today that Daylight Media, a new venture from the team behind QCODE built to scale creator reach and monetization, and powerhouse podcaster Shawn Ryan, have inked a new strategic partnership. Under the agreement, Daylight will oversee ad sales and distribution for the chart-topping podcast, The Shawn Ryan Show, as well as audience development, IP expansion, and marketing for the larger brand.

Since launching in 2019, the series -- hosted by former US Navy SEAL and CIA Contractor -- has become a trusted source for uncovering inconvenient truths overlooked by mainstream media, amassing over one billion views on YouTube. As part of the deal, structured as a revenue-share model, Daylight will provide strategic guidance to continue to grow the show’s already massive audience and market presence, while The Shawn Ryan Show will retain full ownership and creative control of the IP.

“The Shawn Ryan Show has always focused on sharing real stories and delivering the unvarnished truth,” said Shawn Ryan. "Our partnership with Daylight Media allows us to reach an even wider audience, grow the brand, and scale our operation, all while maintaining the creative control our listeners expect. We’re excited to begin this next chapter and continue honoring the stories that matter most.”

“The impressive growth of The Shawn Ryan Show is a compelling example of what podcasting does best -- fostering real, unfiltered conversations that resonate with listeners. Through in-depth interviews with people from all walks of life, Shawn has cultivated not only a loyal audience, but a true community built on authenticity and perspective,” said Steve Wilson, Chief Strategy Officer at Daylight Media. “Daylight is honored to partner with Shawn and his team as we help usher in the next chapter of the show’s growth, reach and impact.”

Daylight Media offers creators a full suite of services, including distribution, IP expansion, audience development, marketing, and proprietary technology solutions. The company sees more than 150 million monthly views and downloads across major platforms with a slate of best-in-class shows including The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart, The Chris Cuomo Project, And That’s Why We Drink, Jillian on Love, You Should Know, Love and Radio, and Philosophize This.
