The Moth

Audacy Podcasts inks a strategic partnership with storytelling nonprofit The Moth to handle sales and distribution for the organization's podcast, including video, social and sponsorships for live events. To date, The Moth's podcasts have been brought to listeners in partnership with PRX. PRX will continue to represent The Moth on public radio, which includes continued distribution of "The Moth Radio Hour" to more than 560 stations.

The Moth podcast feed will move to Audacy on January 1, 2025, and be accessible on the Audacy app and everywhere podcasts are available. The Moth will continue its release schedule with new and encore episodes of "The Moth Radio Hour" on Tuesdays and original episodes of "The Moth Podcast" on Fridays.

"As a nonprofit organization, the opportunity to broaden our reach with Audacy perfectly aligns with our mission of building a more connected world through the art of true personal storytelling. We're thrilled to partner with their talented team to ensure these vital stories are amplified and heard by more listeners -- and help brands connect with our community meaningfully through our audio programming, 600 live events yearly, 1.3MM social media followers, and our digital extensions," said The Moth Executive Director Sarah Haberman.

"Early in my career, I was a producer at The Moth, so I know firsthand how special this storytelling giant is. The Moth is unparalleled in the innovative work they create, and we're thrilled to welcome them to the Audacy family," added Audacy Podcasts EVP Jenna Weiss-Berman. "From the award-winning podcasts to live events and more, our partnership offers tremendous opportunities for advertisers to connect with deeply engaged listeners."

The Moth is represented by WME.
