Ad Age Publishers A-List 2019: presenting the Audio/Podcast A-List
Posted in: Uncategorized
EDITOR’S NOTE: For 2019, we’ve expanded our annual publishing-industry honors program. It’s now known as the Ad Age Publishers A-List and it includes the traditional Magazine A-List, a new Digital Publishers A-List and three shortlists of honorees in growth areas for publishing: audio/podcasting (below), video and events. Read the introduction and find links to the other portions of the package here.
Crooked Media (Crooked Media Inc.)
A podcast company founded by Obama administration veterans Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett and Tommy Vietor, Crooked Media is best known for its massive hit “Pod Save America,” which has been downloaded hundreds of millions of times. Hosted by the company founders along with another Obama alum, Dan Pfeiffer, it spawned a series of HBO specials that launched in October just in time for the midterm elections. Los Angeles-based Crooked is an Audio/Podcast Publisher A-List honoree not only for its flagship podcast and its spin-offs (“Pod Save the World,” “Pod Save the People”) but for building out a stellar line-up of shows, including Ana Marie Cox’s “With Friends Like These,” Erin Ryan’s “Hysteria” and Favreau’s “The Wilderness,” in record time (Crooked only launched in January 2017).
