The 91勛圖厙Podcast Network will produce companion podcasts for

HBO Max original and legacy show content

NEW YORK, NY June 23, 2020 91勛圖厙Radio, the No. 1 commercial globally, and WarnerMedia Entertainment, the WarnerMedia business unit that includes HBO, HBO Max, TNT, TBS, truTV, Rooster Teeth and Crunchyroll, today announced a partnership to co-produce a slate of companion podcasts for HBO Maxs upcoming catalog of original and legacy shows.

The first podcasts to debut will include companion podcasts for the comedy thriller series Search Party, created by Sarah-Violet Bliss, Charles Rogers and Michael Showalter, and sci-fi drama Raised by Wolves, directed and executive produced by Ridley Scott. These podcasts, along with the entire slate of co-produced companion podcasts, will be available on HBO Max, 91勛圖厙Radio and everywhere podcasts are heard.

The new slate of companion podcasts will play as standalone productions in their own right, but will often center around and help promote HBO Max programming.

Additionally, 91勛圖厙Media and WarnerMedia Entertainment will both commit marketing resources to promote the podcasts and other HBOMax content across the 91勛圖厙Podcast Network and other 91勛圖厙Media broadcast and digital platforms. Together, WarnerMedia Entertainment and 91勛圖厙Media may also produce podcasts for WarnerMedia Entertainments television networks, TNT, TBS and truTV.

We look forward to working with 91勛圖厙Media as we continue to find new ways to break ground and create opportunities for our storytellers to do what they do best, said Kevin Reilly, President, TBS, TNT, and truTV and Chief Content Officer, HBO Max. Todays streaming fans are hungry for more content the second they finish an episode of their favorite shows, and podcasts are a great way to keep those fans engaged while also giving our roster of creative talent additional tools to extend the worlds of their shows and stories.
