The celebration coincided with the announcement of four new creator-led shows joining the Podium network: Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, Commander at Home, Stan Wars and Love, Lex P.
The additions continue Podium’s expansion following The Roost Podcast Network’s relaunch as Podium and the signing of Just Trish with Trisha Paytas. The network is also home to some of the biggest creator-led shows including This Past Weekend with Theo Von, The Yard, Sam & Colby Reacts and Weekly Teacap with Kristi Cook.
