PodcastOne (NASDAQ: PODC), a leading podcast platform and a
subsidiary of LiveOne (NASDAQ: LVO), announced today that it
has renewed their agreement for fan favorite podcast LadyGang from
hosts Keltie Knight, Becca Tobin and Jac Vanek. LadyGang, which
launched on PodcastOne in 2015, will remain with the network for
the foreseeable future, thus extending the near decade long
relationship between the two entities.
The podcast’s creators, E! News Host Keltie
Knight, actress Becca Tobin, and fashion designer Jac Vanek, have
been featured in Good Morning America, TODAY, People, Variety, Who
What Wear, Entertainment Tonight, The New York Times, and The
Hollywood Reporter. Their dedicated LadyGang community of listeners
is known to request episodes just featuring the hosts in their
signature Good Week Bad Week and Allegedly Wassa Happening
segments, and they’ve hosted guests such as Sharon Stone, RuPaul,
Demi Lovato, Paris Hilton, Shania Twain, Bethenny Frankel, Paige
Desorbo, Tamron Hall, Chelsea Handler and Jane Lynch. In addition
to continuing to have one of the most successful podcasts in the
world, they’ve seen long-term brand partnership success with major
brands such as Skims, Vogue, Chanel, Macy’s, Marshalls, DSW,
Hilton, Spanx, Disney, Hulu and Hyundai.
“LadyGang is as culturally important and
impactful in the lives of women today as it was when it launched.
Keltie, Becca and Jac have created a unique community of women who
have experienced all of life’s great highs and great lows together,
and they’ve done it all through their podcast. It has been
PodcastOne’s pleasure to work alongside them, and we look forward
to what 2025 will bring,” said Kit Gray, President of
PodcastOne.
"When we started podcasting, the question we got
the most was "What's a podcast?", so we are beyond proud to still
thrive in the now heavily populated podcast space. In 10 years, we
have never missed a single episode or taken a week off, and we are
extremely proud of what we have created. More importantly, we know
we have changed people's lives; our community has created new IRL
friendships, spin-off groups, and even a few marriages. Together,
we've helped each other through breakups, job changes, and other
major milestones and figured out the answers to ladylife’s most
burning questions like "is this dress too white to wear to a
wedding?" or "how do I deal with my terrible mother in law?" and
"is this (insert anything a man does) a red flag?" We are so
thankful to our team at PodcastOne for their hustle and love for
our show. Can't wait for the next ten years!"
LadyGang began as a podcast with the mission to
make women feel less alone, and now it is set to celebrate 10 years
and 1000 episodes in 2025 and recently announced the LADYWORLD
festival to take place in Destin, Florida next year, a podcast
industry first. To date the show has garnered over 250 million
downloads, over 100 million video content views on social media,
topped the podcast charts, and spawned a television series,
clothing line, accessories line and two best-selling books.
LadyGang, the podcast, was a People's Choice Award nominee and a
Webby Award nominee for best series, has been featured on
Entertainment Weekly's coveted "Must List” and was judged "Podcast
of the Year" upon its debut.
LadyGang is among the top rated programs at
PodcastOne alongside The Adam Carolla Show, Off The Vine with
Kaitlyn Bristowe, The Jordan Harbinger Show, Baby Mamas No Drama,
When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany, Let's Talk with Heather
Dubrow, The Morning After with Kelly Stafford and Unlocked with
Savannah Chrisley. PodcastOne’s robust network of programming is
available on Podcastone, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart,
Amazon and wherever podcasts are heard.
