COUNTERPOINT

SPONSORTHE SHOW

Counterpoint is a talk show built to help people hear the human being behind a point of view. We bring many perspectives into the room and spend time on the questions shaping culture, religion, relationships, and everyday life. The result is a long-form conversation that invites understanding, high engagement, as well as long attention.

The Show

Counterpoint brings 6 to 10 passionate people with different experiences, beliefs, or identities into the same room. They answer prompts, ask questions, debate, and talk through why they see an important issue differently. Each episode is a real conversation about culture, religion, relationships, work, and everyday life.

The format gives viewers time to hear more than 1 side of a subject. Our strongest episode has passed 900,000 views, and the channel has passed 5,600,000 lifetime views since launching in March 2025.

Guests come from the community, not a booking agency. That keeps the conversations grounded in real lives, and it gives a sponsor a credible place inside the discussion instead of a detached ad break. Counterpoint is filmed in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and is one of the Midwest's biggest online conversation shows, reaching viewers across the globe.

Why brands fit here

  • Long-form attention. Our lifetime average view duration is 16:00, so sponsor reads land in a real viewing session, not a short clip.
  • Many perspectives. Culture, religion, relationships, work, and generational questions rotate while the audience stays with the show.
  • Neutral conversation platform. Counterpoint does not represent a political, religious, or cultural affiliation, so brands can participate without being tied to a conflicting agenda.
  • Every guest signs a release, and every episode is produced in-house, so brand safety stays in our hands.
  • Every episode can travel across the main channel, the clips channel, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
The Studio

Every episode is shot and produced by our own crew in a dedicated studio in Council Bluffs, Iowa: multiple cameras, a full lighting rig, and a real crew running it. No outside vendor sits between filming and the final cut.
