NEW YORK, NY — OCTOBER 19, 2023 — Audioboom, the global podcast network, has recently launched exclusive partnerships with a slate of top podcasts across the comedy, society, TV and political genres.
As the 5th biggest podcast publisher in the U.S., Audioboom will be boosted to the tune of 8 million monthly downloads per month through new partnerships with hit shows Girls Next Level, The Bulwark Podcast, We’re Here to Help, and Out of the Pods.
Girls Next Level joins the Audioboom Creator Network for its second season, kicking off in early September. Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt, stars of the E! network reality series The Girls Next Door, share insider perspective and behind the scene breakdowns from their experiences at the Playboy Mansion. Since its debut in August of 2022, the show has earned the top spot on the Apple Podcasts charts. New episodes are released weekly on Mondays.
“Audioboom’s dynamic approach is exactly the right thing we needed to grow our audience and optimize the listener’s experience,” says Madison and Marquardt in a collaborative statement. “We have exciting guests, deeper dives and new experiences coming this season and we are so excited to do it with Audioboom.”
Host, author and NBC/MSNBC contributor, Charlie Sykes discusses the latest news from inside Washington and around the world on The Bulwark Podcast. Sykes is a Founder and Editor-at-Large of The Bulwark, a publication which provides political analysis and reporting from experts in the business.
“As we expand our network of smart, non-tribal political and cultural reporting, commentary, and analysis, we look forward to working with Audioboom,” says Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark. “We’re excited to grow together in this new partnership.” The Bulwark Podcast has ranked #3 on Apple Podcasts U.S. Politics chart.
Jake Johnson, best known from the TV series New Girl and Gareth Reynolds, host of The Dollop podcast don’t feel qualified to give strangers good advice. But in each episode of We’re Here to Help, Jake and Gareth make several pitches to callers (whose questions range from trivial to serious) with their best attempts of advice. They can’t promise their suggestions will be perfect, but it will be the best they’ve got.
“We’re Here to Help is a show where we talk to callers about whatever small issue they’re dealing with. As long as it’s important to them, we’re on their side. Mostly we’re just trying to make each other laugh,” says Johnson and Reynolds in a joint statement. “We’ve also had a great experience on Audioboom. Their crew help us keep things running smoothly, which we really appreciate.” The show has achieved a position within Spotify’s Top 5 podcasts and also secured the #2 spot on Apple Podcasts U.S. comedy chart.
Out of the Pods is a weekly deep-dive into the popular Netflix reality series Love is Blind. Former contestants and co-hosts, Natalie Lee and Deepti Vempati share their unfiltered thoughts, hot takes, and insider tea on the latest episodes, along with never-been-told stories from across the seasons. No edits, no filters, just reality. Since its launch in March 2023, Out of The Pods has been ranked #1 on the U.S. Apple Podcasts TV & Film chart as well as a Top 50 podcast on Spotify. New episodes drop every Wednesday.
“As the first Asian American cast members of Love is Blind, we hope to give a new perspective to listeners of what it’s like to be on reality TV and what really goes on behind the scenes,” says Lee and Vempati. “We are excited to grow Out of the Pods in our partnership with Audioboom!”
