Just one day after announcing they had parted ways with NOVA Entertainment, DM Podcasts have announced a new partnership with LiSTNR.

Under the new agreement, LiSTNR will be the exclusive sales representative for DM Podcasts in Australia, and as part of the strategic podcast partnership, DM Podcasts will be hosted and distributed by LiSTNR.

Founder, Antony Stockdale, says, “We are thrilled to work with LiSTNR who we believe are the most innovative and successful player in the Australian digital audio space.

“It’s important to us that LiSTNR is free and Australian owned and has a complementary slate of content, so it is the perfect combination with our independent, creator first philosophy and team.

 “Under the partnership, we will be able to maintain our independence and voice but now with the benefit of the resources and knowledge of the number one digital audio platform in Australia.

“It provides more opportunities for independent podcasters to grow their audience and allows DM to focus on creating unique content, with some of the best Australian talent.”

SCA Executive Head, LiSTNR Podcasts, Grant Tothill, says, “We are delighted to partner with Diamantina Media’s DM Podcasts. DM’s slate of Australian podcasts will complement and augment LiSTNR’s original and curated podcasts, as well as our international podcast partnerships with Wondery and Stitcher, and our Australian partnerships with the AFL, NRL, Network 10, Schwartz Media and the Royal Institution of Australia.

“DM Podcasts will also provide their production expertise for our rapidly growing branded podcasts.

 “The addition of DM Podcasts will take our monthly listeners to almost seven million and further reinforce our position as Australia’s number one podcast network, offering advertisers the largest monetisable audience in the country, with enhanced opportunities to connect to our highly engaged podcast audiences at scale.”
