LiveXLive's PodcastOne's The LadyGang Podcast Celebrates 100 Million Downloads

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- PodcastOne, a leading podcast company and a subsidiary of LiveXLive Media (NASDAQ: LIVX) ("LiveXLive"), announced today that its hit podcast The LadyGang has officially reached a major milestone of 100 million downloads. The show, which has subsequently evolved into a multi-media hit with their own E! Network show and a New York Times Best Seller Act Like a Lady, has become a tentpole podcast for PodcastOne. On Monday, October 12, the trio celebrated the milestone with their fans and audience.

The podcast launched in December 2015 allowing the troika to turn their dream jobs into a successful platform. From a clothing line, a best-selling book, a sold-out subscription box, a television series, and their home at PodcastOne, as well as countless sold out live events, they have truly become the SHE'EO's of their own employment destinies that they've always wanted to be.

"It would be hard to find a stronger community than the one behind The LadyGang", said Kit Gray, President and Co-Founder of PodcastOne. "Their podcast is a twice weekly must listen and offers a unique way for their fan base to navigate through life's ups and downs and have fun while doing so."

Each week The LadyGang's podcast, which includes creators Emmy award winning journalist Keltie Knight, actress Becca Tobin, and designer Jac Vanek are regularly joined by celebrity guests for unfiltered, honest and hysterical champagne-fueled discussions about the things you would only divulge to your closest girlfriends. No topic is off limits and the hilariously unapologetic trio talk about subjects ranging from social media, to personal vices, money, sex, relationships, and balance of power. Guests have included Ed Sheeran, Adam Rippon, Karamo Brown, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin Mchale, Sabrina Carpenter, Kat Graham and more. This girl gang delivers moments that leave listeners laughing and almost in tears.
