Life Uncut, the podcast hosted by best friends Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne, has officially joined LiSTNR and launched with a brand new season.
Over seven years Life Uncut has built a highly engaged community that culminated in an offshoot radio show on the KIIS Network, with both announced to be leaving ARN late last year. Now the podcast, #9 on the most recent Triton Australian Podcast Ranker with near 600K monthly downloads, enters its next era, backed by LiSTNR.
Brittany Hockley said:
“Joining the LiSTNR family marks an exciting new chapter for us. Aligning with a network that sees our vision and wants to support us to keep creating the content we love is so important, and LiSTNR has its finger on the pulse. Over the last 6.5 years and 1000 episodes, Life Uncut has amassed over 100 million downloads and built the most incredible community of Lifers, and we can wait to continue to grow our community.”
Laura Byrne said:
“We are so excited for this partnership with LiSTNR. Over the past six years, we’ve grown downloads and built trusted relationships with our brand partners who value our content and brand integration. With the support of a world class sales team, this move allows us to continue to provide the best strategic brand partnerships.”
Sam Cavanagh, Head of Content LiSTNR Original Podcasts, added:
“Life Uncut is one of the country’s original podcast success stories. Brittany and Laura have worked relentlessly to build one of Australia’s most loyal and engaged communities, and their growth is a testament to the authenticity and fun they bring to every episode.
Their move to LiSTNR further solidifies our position as the market leader in podcasting, backed by the best producers, social teams and Ad-Tech products in the country. There is no better place to grow a podcast audience and revenue in Australia, and we’re proud to welcome Life Uncut to LiSTNR alongside some of the nation’s biggest podcasts, including Hamish & Andy and The Imperfects.”
Life Uncut has surpassed 100 million downloads with more than 170,000 Instagram followers and 2.1 million TikTok likes. In this partnership with SCA, Laura and Brittany will utilise LiSTNR’s ad technology, including the AdTech Hub which allows brands and advertisers access to audience first commercial opportunities.
The first LiSTNR episode of Life Uncut is out today, Wednesday January 28, with new episodes Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays on the free LiSTNR app or wherever you get your podcasts. Images supplied.
