PodcastOne extended its agreement with A+E Global Media for the exclusive sales and distribution rights to five popular podcasts: “Cold Case Files,” “I Survived,” “American Justice,” “City Confidential” and “Ancient Aliens.”
Since launching the relationship with A+E in 2017, PodcastOne has grown the roster of partnered shows to those five — which cumulatively have produced over 1,100 episodes and have more than 200 million combined downloads.
“At PodcastOne we’re a full scope podcasting network that operates with a white glove boutique agency philosophy allowing us to work closely with our partners to grow podcast audiences,” said Kit Gray, president and co-founder of PodcastOne, in a statement. “We couldn’t be prouder of the impact our relationship with A+E has had on translating their programming to podcast form, and we look forward to collaborating for years to come.”
Here are descriptions for each show:
Cold Case Files: Based on the Emmy-nominated series on A&E, this show explores some of the most difficult-to-solve murders, which stymied investigators and went cold, sometimes for decades. In fact, one-third of all murders in America remain open. But thanks to dogged investigators and breakthroughs in forensic technology, these cases become part of the rare 1% of cold cases that are ever solved. Cold Case Files is hosted by Paula Barros.
I Survived: What is it like to face death and make it out alive? Based on the A&E television series, I Survived documents harrowing stories of human endurance. In their own words, survivors recall how they overcame unbelievable circumstances that changed their lives forever.
American Justice: A look at criminal cases that presents viewers with an inside look at the case through the eyes of those directly involved, ranging from law enforcement officers to the victims.
City Confidential: Features real life stories in a wide variety of American cities. While many of these stories deal with murder, some also deal with attempted murder, and public officials caught in compromising situations, among other things. The cities featured vary widely in size, from the smallest village to the largest urban areas.
Ancient Aliens: Based on the television show of the same name, History’s Ancient Aliens explores the controversial theory that extraterrestrials have visited Earth for millions of years. From the age of the dinosaurs to ancient Egypt, from early cave drawings to continued mass sightings in the US, each episode in this hit series gives historic depth to the questions, speculations, provocative controversies, first-hand accounts and grounded theories surrounding this age-old debate.
PodcastOne’s podcast lineup includes “The Adam Carolla Show,” “The Jordan Harbinger Show,” “Karma and Chaos,” “Stassi With Tay,” “Off The Vine With Kaitlyn Bristowe,” “LadyGang,” “Court Junkie,” “Pop Apologists” and “Varnamtown.” The shows are available through PodcastOne, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeart, Amazon and other podcast platforms.
