Move Your Show to the Top 5%
You’ve built your platform. Now, bring it under the TPE banner. We’re looking for the boldest, most joyful, and most practical voices in education to join our collective and reach tens of thousands of school leaders.
The TPE Standard: What We’re Looking For
We don’t just host podcasts; we curate a culture. The Principal Exchange was built on a very specific voice, and we want to partner with shows that share our mission.
Our Network is a home for shows that are:
Actionable & Strategic: We skip the heavy, boring theory and get straight to the how and why.
Joyful & Balanced: We believe in bringing light back to the principalship and helping other leaders get their life back.
Practical: If a principal can’t use your advice during their commute or in the hallway, it doesn’t match our audience. We’re actionable, efficient, and effective here at TPE.
Professional: We believe school leaders deserve a high-end, elite listening experience.
If your show is about solving problems, sharing smiles, and celebrating the work, we want to hear from you.

Which Plan is Right for My Show?
The Directory Listing This is for the established creator who is happy with their current hosting and tech setup but wants the "Network Effect." You want to put your show in front of TPE’s 40k+ school leaders, get the badge of authority on your cover art, and benefit from quarterly features across our social and email platforms. It’s the perfect way to stop being an "independent island" and start being part of a recognized collective.
The Growth Partnership This is for the leader who is ready to fully integrate into TPE Nation. You want more than just a link in a directory—you want a seat at the table. By moving your RSS feed to our professional hosting, you get a Deep-Dive Brand Audit where we give you direct feedback to sharpen your hook and impact. With quarterly group strategy calls and priority cross-promotion, this plan is for the creator who wants to scale their brand using the same data-driven engine that built a top 5% show.
