Audacy Podcasts inks a strategic partnership with Pave Studios to manage ad sales and distribution for a wide range of original podcast titles from the media company's Crime House and OpenMind brands. Audacy's Pave Studios slate will move to Audacy Podcasts starting today, October 7. Pave Studios was founded by Max Cutler, former VP, Head of Talk Creator Content and Partnerships at Spotify and founder of Parcast Studios.

"Pave Studios' forward-thinking business model places storytellers at the forefront, offering enhanced monetization opportunities that drive more revenue back into their hands. We believe that when creators thrive, everyone wins," said Cutler. "Our one-of-a-kind partnership with Audacy not only supports our creator-first strategy but also highlights our shared commitment to valuing creators above all else. Together, we're paving the way for a new era of media that connects them with audiences in bold, new ways."

"Max Cutler's track record of success speaks for itself, and we have been truly impressed by the exceptional creativity and vision of Pave Studios," added Audacy Podcasts EVP Jenna Weiss-Berman. "This partnership aligns perfectly with Audacy's path of growth and innovation across our podcast and overall digital platforms, positioning us to amplify their expanding slate of audio content and top creators, engaging both dedicated fans and new audiences alike."
