WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The ALIVE Podcast Network proudly announces a captivating lineup of podcasts and collaborations that will redefine what it means to A. Amplify, B. Black, C. Content (ABC's), and invigorate the Black creative economy.

The Black woman-owned media powerhouse is going back to basics. "We're creating content that listeners have said they're ready to indulge in," says founder & CEO, Angel Livas. "Scripted storytelling, sports, and wisdom-packed content are what our listeners crave."

This "back-to-school" roster is tailored to meet those desires:

Wilson Hall
Award-winning actor Rodney Damon Collins teams up with ALIVE to debut its first scripted podcast, Wilson Hall. Written and produced by a father-son duo, this series delves into an urban legend that college students discover is actually a true crime. (Debuts August 15th)

"Each of these podcasts has a richness to them that adds to the vibrant tapestry that stitches the Black community together," says Livas.

The ALIVE Podcast Network, home to over five dozen podcasts and millions of listeners, is set to soar even higher. A new cross-promotion collaboration with the REVOLT Podcast Network aims to amplify various shows across both platforms to expand audience reach.

Another way that ALIVE is building community and expanding brand awareness is by leveraging high-profile programs designed to scale minority start-ups through mentoring, training, and visibility. Just last month, ALIVE was named a semi-finalist in Pharrell Williams' Black Ambition program and Goldman Sachs' One Million Black Women: Black in Business fall cohort. These programs also aid businesses like ALIVE in fundraising, which the two-year-old media tech company is currently doing to raise Angel investments for phase two developments of their innovative mobile app and hosting platform.
