The Black Effect Podcast Network has named Dollie S. Bishop as President of Production and Creative Development, effective immediately. Announced earlier this month and set to launch this fall, The Black Effect Podcast Network is a historic joint venture partnership between iHeartMedia and Charlamagne Tha God that is positioned to become the world's largest podcast publisher dedicated to Black listeners, bringing together the most influential and trusted voices in Black culture for stimulating conversations around social justice, pop culture, sports, mental health, news, comedy and more.

As the President of Production and Creative Development, Bishop will work directly with Charlamagne Tha God and oversee the team of producers as well as the editorial direction of the new multi-genre network including its podcast lineup and luminous roster of marquee culture-shifting voices. In addition, Bishop will assist with identifying and recruiting new creators and talent to develop limited series podcasts to support upcoming films, music releases and other related projects.

"Dollie is a creative force who motivates and inspires people to be the very best version of themselves," said Charlamagne. "Her creative instincts and recruiting and development skills are exactly what we need to ensure that The Black Effect Network becomes an unparalleled leader in podcasting. Dollie is a talent magnet. She brings a unique expertise that will help shape our way forward. It's a genuine privilege to have her at the helm as we continue to grow and evolve The Black Effect Podcast Network."

Bishop's new position at The Black Effect Podcast Network marks her first role in the audio industry. She is an accomplished TV and events producer whose experience ranges from development to post-production, with an eye for creating innovative projects that appeal to a diverse audience. Bishop is the creator and producer of Oxygen's 2016 hit docu-series, "Like A Boss," which follows the assistants of some of the biggest urban media power players in Atlanta. She has worked on a wide range television formats including reality TV, docu-series, in-studio productions and live broadcasting. Her extensive production background includes having produced on "TeenNick Top 10," a weekly roundup of the hottest music videos, the MTV Video Music Awards and MTV's hit shows "Ridiculousness" and "Wild ‘N Out." Bishop also worked on Lifetime's hit reality television series, "Married at First Sight." Previously, she worked for Nick Cannon's NCredible Entertainment, where she developed and shot pilots and sizzles; oversaw live events; and built and maintained relationships with external producers and production companies.

"I'm grateful for the opportunity to embark on this unprecedented journey with The Black Effect Podcast Network," said Bishop. "As the head of the Network, I'm privileged to be able to give Black voices the creative and cultural freedom to speak unapologetically in a space where their voices can be real, where their creativity and talent can be rewarded, and where our listeners can be uplifted and informed, respected and appreciated. I cannot thank Charlamagne enough for his visionary leadership in this timely, critically important, history-making endeavor."
