"Savageland" and "2 Chicks With An
Attitude" podcasts are raw, unfiltered, and
tackle the topics that Black women are thinking about but
sometimes don't dare to discuss out loud — launching on March
1 and March 3, 2023.
NEW YORK,
Feb. 28,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MediaCo Holding
Inc. (NASDAQ: MDIA), owner of HOT 97, the world's
first all Hip-Hop station that's dominated New York City for over 20 years,
announces that it's partnering with the WOE Podcast Network to
launch two women-led podcasts that explore and dissect relevant and
relatable topics.
This exclusive partnership expands MediaCo's
radio, digital, and advertising divisions while providing a
much-needed space for Black content creators to authentically
connect with culture and have honest conversations. The two
podcasts, titled Savageland and 2 Chicks With
An Attitude, are launching on
March 1 and March 3, respectively, on HOT97.com.
According to the CEO of MediaCo, Rahsan-Rahsan Lindsay, the partnership with WOE
Podcast Network allows MediaCo to support a vital lineup of new
Black talent. "As we build out our podcast offerings, it's
important to amplify new and unique voices. Partnering with WOE
allows us to feature talent with whom we might not otherwise work.
We are excited to see them shine," said Lindsay.
Both podcasts are hosted by Black women and
feature honest and lively conversations while capturing the pulse
of what Black women want to talk about. Savageland guides
listeners through the ruthless minefield of modern dating.
Fearlessly led by Crystal Watson, a
seasoned veteran of the singles scene, the show explores dating
from different perspectives. With a variety of guests and candid
conversations that balance insight with playful banter, the show
will make listeners laugh, cry, and carry on to date another
day.
What do you get when you juxtapose two women, a
few drinks, and a lot of audacity? 2 Chicks With An
Attitude. Hosts Bre and Kiara tackle subjects like sexual
freedom, dating younger vs. older men, and the government telling
women what they can do with their bodies. These two women make sure
to let the world know that men are just along for the ride. Add in
a few RANDO's (random men) dropping by to share their opinion and a
few shots of tequila and this is one podcast party you don't want
to miss.
Atlanta-based
WOE Podcast Network brings together a collective of creators that
represent the next wave of real people with unique voices. With
Founder and Executive Producer Erik Gordon at the helm, the network
is dedicated to amplifying POC voices.
"We are excited to partner with MediaCo, a
company with legendary brands like HOT 97 and WBLS, to launch this
new podcast media endeavor. Rahsan-Rahsan and the team have been
nothing short of amazing," Gordon said. "This content will offer
listeners a new way to experience culture and it will broaden our
reach. Through this ongoing partnership with MediaCo, we're
empowering Black creators and leveling inequity in the industry.
This is only the beginning."
