PodcastOne (PODC) Launches ‘PodcastOne Pro’, a Comprehensive Solution to Transform Brand Ideations into Polished Podcast Productions

Initial Brands Include MotorTrend and LoveSac Leveraging PodcastOne Pro for Studio Space, Production, Strategy, Marketing and Distribution

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PodcastOne (NASDAQ: PODC), a leading publisher, podcast sales network and a subsidiary of LiveOne (NASDAQ: LVO), has officially launched PodcastOne Pro, a full service solution that specializes in transforming podcasts into polished on-air productions for brands and professionals.

PodcastOne Pro offers customizable services, with à la carte options to meet exact production needs, or a full 360° solution. Services include access to top-of-the-line podcasting studios and equipment (audio and video), strategy, program production, editing, guest booking, distribution, paywall options and promotion across PodcastOne’s existing network of podcasts.

With global podcast listeners expected to surpass one billion by 2027 according to MIDiA Research, PodcastOne is quickly becoming the platform of choice and is currently ranked 13th in Podtrac’s Podcast Industry Top Publishers Rankings for November 2024. As reported in the Q2 fiscal 2025 financial results, PodcastOne expects Fiscal 2025 revenues to increase at least 17% to a record of at least $51.0 million.

“As the only public pure-play podcast company in the United States, PodcastOne is uniquely positioned to help brands, businesses and content creators reach their target audiences more effectively while keeping loyal podcast listeners entertained and engaged,” said Jim Lally, Head of Business Development for PodcastOne. “Branded podcasts are financially and logistically challenging for many companies to produce in-house. With the official launch of PodcastOne Pro, we’re able to offer a tailored podcast production solution to our clients that leverages our current infrastructure, which ultimately, drives higher margins, diversifies our revenue streams, and lowers costs for clients,” continued Mr. Lally.

PodcastOne Pro currently services category leading brands such as MotorTrend, Boost Mobile, Microsoft and LoveSac who are leveraging podcasts to build brand loyalty and connect directly to consumers through the U.S.’s fastest growing medium, podcasting. Numerous studies have proven that podcast audiences connect with products on a level not seen in traditional advertising and marketing mediums.

Coinciding with the launch of PodcastOne Pro, PodcastOne is set to debut its new state of the art podcast production studio in Beverly Hills. Elevating the production experience with cutting-edge audio and video capabilities, this fully equipped facility offers industry-leading technology, ensuring top-tier production quality for both audio and video content. The new studio enables creators to seamlessly produce, record, and broadcast their shows with unmatched clarity and precision. With versatile setup options and accommodating a wide range of podcast formats from solo recordings to multi-guest interviews. PodcastOne continues to push the boundaries of podcasting, providing creators with the tools they need to deliver premium content to their audiences.

“The production behind podcasting has evolved rapidly in the last several years with the incredible uptick in consumer consumption of the medium. We are excited to be able to offer top of the line production facilities and to collaborate with our own Jackie Schimmel (host of Bitch Bible) on the design for the space, creating a dream recording environment for podcasting,” said Stacie Parra and Alistair Walford, Heads of Production for PodcastOne and PodcastOne Pro.
