New York, February 19, 2025 – IGN Entertainment, one of the world’s largest gaming and entertainment media platforms and the go-to destination for fans to explore and celebrate games, movies, TV, and comics, today announced the launch of Geek Media, a new podcast network that will bring IGN Entertainment’s portfolio of podcasts under a unified identity to reach hundreds of millions of fans each month across its 16 digital properties.
Geek Media, an IGN Entertainment brand, is represented by Realm, a global podcast network and studio. The portfolio of Geek Media podcasts has been among Realm’s most in-demand shows, outperforming 2024 ad sales targets and attracting brand category leaders from tech and entertainment to insurance and health. This new network will take Realm and IGN Entertainment’s multi-year partnership to the next level, reaching millions more monthly listeners and working more closely with brand partners on multi-format campaigns and custom content.
Geek Media launches with IGN Entertainment’s existing slate of shows including podcasts: Game Scoop!, Nintendo Voice Chat, the Oxventure Podcast, Unlocked and Beyond, in addition to bringing other fan-favorite shows under the new umbrella and leveraging their global audience to amplify Geek Media podcasts.
Realm and IGN first announced a partnership to collaborate on the development, production, distribution, and monetization of podcast titles in late 2023, and in Summer 2024 the companies co-produced and distributed for Peacock the official companion podcast Rise or Die: A Those About to Die Podcast. Realm and IGN have other new scripted and unscripted podcasts in development with IP holders across the gaming and entertainment industries.
