Renewals
Audioboom has signed multi-year renewals to extend partnerships
with three premium shows:
Mike Rowe has extended his successful partnership with
Audioboom. Since joining Audioboom's Creator network in September
2021, The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe has been downloaded over 50
million times. Originally launched in 2016, the show ranks in
Triton Digital's US Podcast Report Top 40. Listeners of the podcast
tune in for Rowe's in-depth and revealing conversations with New
York Times best-selling authors, former members of the Secret
Service, award-winning actors, and more.
RELAX! with Colleen Ballinger & Erik Stocklin was introduced
by Audioboom in January 2021 and has seen incredible success with
more than 40 million listens since launch. The podcast features
popular YouTube Content Creator Colleen Ballinger aka Miranda Sings
and her husband Erik Stocklin relaxing with listeners and
discussing home life, their relationship, parenting tales, and
more. RELAX! and Audioboom have extended their partnership through
to 2025.
Two Hot Takes will continue to partner with Audioboom through to
2025. Host Morgan Absher found fame on Tik Tok in 2020, amassing
3.3 million followers. Her popularity seamlessly translated to the
podcasting space when Two Hot Takes took the internet by storm in
2021. Absher and co-hosts provide hot takes on the juiciest Reddit
relationship, life, and AITA stories. Since launching in November
2021, the podcast has received over 27 million downloads on the
Audioboom Creator network
New Partnerships
Audioboom continues to expand its creator network, partnering
with podcasting's most creative talent to develop audiences and
connect influential creators with brands.
From January 2023, The Tim Dillon Show will be part of the
Audioboom creator network. Dillon - a stand-up comedian, writer,
and actor - brings his comedic expertise to his self-titled
podcast, where he chats with guests such as Joe Rogan, Bill Burr,
Lex Fridman, and more.
Award-winning Myths and Legends is a scripted podcast showcasing
a variety of folklore from worlds both real and imagined -
developed, written, and produced by husband and wife Jason and
Carissa Weiser. Since its launch in 2015, over 450 episodes have
garnered nearly 200 million downloads worldwide.
The Minds of Madness explores disturbing criminal minds and how
violent crimes impact surviving victims of homicide. Host Tyler
Allen launched the award-winning true crime podcast in January 2017
and has continued to land in the Top 25 on Apple Podcasts True
Crime charts in the U.S. and Canada.
Stand-up comedian, Nate Bargatze, produces and hosts The
Nateland Podcast . Bargatze was named one of Variety's ten comics
to watch and placed #1 on Vulture's '50 Comedians You Should Know'.
The weekly podcast tackles questions that no one asked and draws
inspiration from Seinfeld as it often turns into a "podcast about
nothing".
Named one of Vogue's Best Podcasts of 2022, Celebrity Memoir
Book Club drops every Tuesday with the stand-up comedians Claire
Parker and Ashley Hamilton exploring a wide range of celebrity
autobiographies from Prince Harry to Mariah Carey.

to be staying in the Audioboom family. They've done a great job
hosting my podcast Two Hot Takes over the past year, and I can't
wait to see how we continue to grow it together."
Jason and Carissa Weiser , producers of Myths & Legends
commented: "Already, it's clear to us that partnering with
Audioboom is one of our best decisions. This is a new year with new
stories and a new partnership, and we could not be more
excited!"

excited to be joining the Audioboom team, and finally bring weekly
episodes to our amazing listeners - a dream that's been six years
in the making."

the direction that Audioboom is heading in and am excited to be
able to get in front of the massive audience they have from their
years of experience. I want to build a Nateland network and believe
