The deal gives PodcastOne distribution and advertising sales rights for APM's current slate of podcast and vodcast programming. In addition, it will also allow for the two media companies to co-develop future podcast/vodcast based IP, produce advertiser sponsored live streaming and touring opportunities for host/talent and create licensing for podcast specific branded merchandise.

"Kevin and APM clearly have a knack for producing quality podcast content with Victory the Podcast being one of the first shows giving a behind the scenes look at a hit television series and The Morning After with Kelly Stafford consistently charting as one of the top shows for parents and families. This joint venture now gives us the ability to work together to grow the audience for a slate of incredible existing shows. Additionally, with LiveOne's streaming partnerships, live event capabilities and merchandising division, we are excited to further enhance branding opportunities for the star studded roster of hosts," said PodcastOne President Kit Gray.

APM's current podcast programming includes the long running "Victory the Podcast" hosted by Entourage creator Doug Ellin and series stars Kevin Connolly and Kevin Dillon amd Doug Ellin's "Ramble On with Ted Foxman," the official podcast of the upcoming Ramble On TV show starring Charlie Sheen, Connolly, Dillion and featuring Martin Sheen, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Mark Cuban and more.

Connolly commented, "Kit and his team at PodcastOne are among the best in the industry, and I've admired their work for some time. To now be partnered in this initiative is thrilling as we work together to create new top charting shows and to grow our current programming beyond any of our imaginations. Between live streaming, touring and exciting branded merchandise opportunities, the possibilities are endless."
