“Maximum Effort Channel is a place for us to take chances and bring viewers an unexpected yet comforting experience,” said Kevin Hill, head of television, Maximum Effort. “When Embassy Row approached us with the idea of a podcast ‘hosted by’ cats, we bit right away. We’re excited for fans of comedy and cats alike to see what a purrly fun pawdcast can be.”

Each week, Podcats: The Pawdcast will feature one new cat correspondent and a new dog serving as “intern of the week” who will both be up for adoption. The recurring studio manager and IT support characters are also adoptable cats through Animal Haven. The show plans to work with additional shelters in the future.

“The Maximum Effort Channel brand of clever comfort aligns perfectly with Embassy Row’s mission to produce talent-first, joyful programming,” said Michael Davies, president, Embassy Row. “Our legacy of producing hit talk shows such as Watch What Happens Live and Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee makes us the perfect partner to develop and produce this first-of-its-kind talk format featuring adoptable cats and top comedic talent.”

Maximum Effort Channel, curated by Ryan Reynolds and the Maximum Effort team, is available to watch on Fubo as well as Amazon Freevee, LG Channels, Plex, Sling Freestream, Tubi, VIDAA, VIZIO Watchfree+ and Xumo Play.
