# particle_podcast_get_sponsors

> Top sponsors for a single podcast plus aggregate ad stats — totals, unique sponsors, episodes with ads, host-read vs pre-recorded.

<Note>
  In the **`podcast_advertising`** category, which is **opt-in** — it is callable by name on any connection, but only advertised on `tools/list` when selected via `?include=podcast_advertising`. See [Tool sets & discovery](/mcp/tool-sets).
</Note>

Top sponsors for a single podcast plus aggregate ad stats: total ads, unique sponsors, episodes with ads, average ads per episode, and host-read vs pre-recorded breakdown.

This is the "who sponsors podcast Y" view. For "where does company X sponsor" use [`particle_company_get_podcast_ad_presence`](/mcp/tools/podcast_advertising/company-get-podcast-ad-presence). For top advertisers across the catalog use [`particle_podcast_get_sponsor_leaderboard`](/mcp/tools/podcast_advertising/podcast-get-sponsor-leaderboard).
