Distribution & Reach
Phil Phails meets its audience across video, audio, and broadcast — built for both discovery and long-term engagement.
On Austin Public Access — Channel 10
Phil Phails has aired weekly since June 2024 on Channel 10, the longest continually running public access station in the country — produced through the Austin Film Society’s producer program and carried across Spectrum, Astound, and AT&T U-Verse throughout the Austin metro.
For Sponsors
Phil Phails works best with organizations aligned with growth, learning, health, resilience, and personal transformation. Sponsorships are integrated through genuine relationships and conversation rather than traditional advertising, reaching adults actively investing in their own growth — and staying visible through an evergreen archive that keeps generating views long after an episode airs.
How Sponsorship Can Work
Phil Phails takes a relationship-first approach to sponsorship. Rather than traditional advertising, partnerships are designed to create genuine connections between organizations, their work, and the conversations happening on the show.

What Guests Say
“Once the interview began, I knew I’d made the right decision—but more than that, I knew I’d made a new friend.”
Father Bill W.
Episcopal Priest & Author, The Power of Two Way Prayer
When Phil first invited me to record a session with him, I’ll admit to having my doubts. But something about Phil’s sincerity and dedication called to me. Once the interview began, I knew I’d made the right decision—but more than that, I knew I’d made a new friend.
We’ve all failed at times in life, and sharing how we climbed out of those holes is something the world needs to hear. If you’re invited to share on Phil Phails, go do it. Your story may help someone succeed.
“The blend of freewheeling curiosity and systematic preparation allows the guest to truly shine.”
Andrew Wagner
Comedian
Phillip is a natural interviewer. His style is loose and conversational but structured. He spends hours preparing behind the scenes, creating an on-air structure that can ebb and flow while maintaining a productive, cohesive narrative.
The combination of genuine curiosity and thoughtful preparation allows the guest to truly shine.
“He manages to get experts in almost every modality related to growth and human experience.”
David Garrison
Men’s Work Facilitator
I really enjoyed being Phillip’s guest on the show. He asks questions that lead naturally into the most meaningful topics while keeping the conversation light, engaging, and authentic.
I’m continually impressed by the breadth and depth of topics covered on Phil Phails. I highly recommend the experience.
