March 23, 2026 – Austin, TX – Backyard Ventures has partnered with The Jeff Ward Show, bringing Austin radio icon Jeff Ward’s daily talk show into its creator roster and managing exclusive brand opportunities across the show’s audio and digital channels.

Jeff Ward is a Texas media legend, delivering smart, irreverent, and thought-provoking commentary on the biggest stories in sports, business, and politics. New episodes drop every weekday, keeping conversations current while challenging listeners with the show’s simple philosophy: “The ONLY agenda is to make you think.” Popular segments such as “Buy or Sell” and “Wardisms” highlight Jeff’s distinctive voice, blending humor, insight, and opinion-driven discussion.

The Jeff Ward Show reaches a highly engaged, loyal audience, with Texas fans at its core. Fans engage with content across social platforms, extending conversations and amplifying engagement. With daily listenership and social interaction, brands can connect with an attentive audience that values Jeff’s humor, perspective, and distinctive personality.

“Jeff Ward has built a show that entertains, informs, and keeps listeners coming back day after day,” said Matt Cisneros, Founder and CEO of Backyard Ventures. “We’re thrilled to help connect the right brand partners with a loyal and highly engaged audience that trusts Jeff’s voice.”

“I’ve followed the growth of Backyard Ventures, and when the opportunity for us to work together presented itself, I jumped at the chance to work with Matt and his team. I’m an Austin guy and a regional brand, and their approach to connecting my show to regional advertisers made perfect sense for us both. They get the Jeff Ward story and know how to grow my brand,” said Jeff Ward, host of The Jeff Ward Show.
