LOS ANGELES, CA, Dec. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire<\/a> \u2013 PodcastOne<\/u><\/a> (NASDAQ: PODC), a leading podcast platform and a subsidiary of LiveOne<\/u><\/a> (NASDAQ: LVO<\/u><\/a>), which owns ~80% of the PODC outstanding common stock, announced today that is has acquired the exclusive distribution and sales rights to the critically acclaimed and award winning podcast, Was I In A Cult?<\/i> from hosts Liz Iacuzzi and Tyler Measom who lend their own personal cultic experiences to the pod.<\/p>\n

Named Best Podcast by multiple publications including Vulture and Good Housekeeping, Was I In A Cult? <\/i>is a documentary-style podcast showcasing individuals who have been in, and most importantly, successfully left a cult. Told first-hand by the experiencer themself, these are raw, riveting and inspirational tales of what it means to be a survivor. Using levity and info-tainment, the show humanized the cultic experience and may leave some of our listeners asking themselves… “Wait… Was I In A Cult?” Guests have included the original male supermodel Hoyt Richards and Roberta Blevins (Hulu\u2019s LulaRich<\/i>). The hosts are currently in development on a television series adaptation of the podcast with Edgeline Films (Couples Therapy<\/i>).<\/p>\n

\u201cPodcastOne is thrilled to team with Liz and Tyler to reignite the fervor and phenomenon that surrounded Was I In a Cult? <\/i>through their initial round of episodes. The cultural impact that this podcast had and the watercooler talk left a lasting impression in the world of podcasting, and we cannot wait to bring new episodes to listeners and to advertisers in 2024,\u201d said Kit Gray, President and Co-Founder of PodcastOne.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so excited to get our show back up and running. We have incredible and important stories to share and feel like we\u2019ve finally found the right home in PodcastOne. We\u2019re looking forward to our partnership and all the possibilities that lie ahead,\u201d said Iacuzzi and Measom.<\/p>\n

Born and raised in Chicago, Iacuzzi\u2019s comedy and performing background began in Improv Olympic and Chicago\u2019s famed Second City. When she decided to take her talents to LA, Iacuzzi initially launched her own private yoga studio with clients ranging from Britney Spears to Ron Artest \u2014 while shifting her focus from performing to writing. She then made her way onto LA’s stand-up stages and has come out the other side with a strong passion for writing multi-dimensional female characters, focusing on important, sometimes hard-to-swallow subject matters but always maintaining a sense of humor.<\/p>\n

Award-winning filmmaker Measom specializes in high profile, character-based documentaries. He is the director of the Paramount+ series I Wanna Rock<\/i> and the hit Netflix series Murder Among the Mormons<\/i>, the documentaries I Want My MTV<\/i> (Tribeca, A&E), An Honest Liar<\/i> (Tribeca, ITVS) and Sons of Perdition<\/i> (Tribeca, Oprah Documentary Club). He has produced the films TAKE<\/i> (Tribeca, Showtime), the Showtime doc Jesus Town, USA<\/i>, the NYTimes documentary ELDER<\/i> and the film Space Cowboy<\/i>. Measom is currently directing the music documentaries Lost and Found <\/i>and If These Walls Could Rock<\/i>.<\/p>\n
