Podcast Nation, the creator-first podcast network, today announced the signing of Not So Chic with Elli Freeman, hosted by rising digital creator Elli Freeman, in collaboration with United Talent Agency (UTA) and Digital Brand Architects (DBA). The signing marks a new addition to Podcast Nation’s roster, bringing the total number of shows signed this year to 15, and furthering the network’s focus on helping digital creators expand their IP into podcasting. The deal also strengthens Podcast Nation’s relationship with UTA and its growing roster of digital talent, marking the sixth deal the two companies have completed together this year.
Known for her viral “What I Find Chic” series on TikTok, Freeman has developed a distinct voice through her sharp observations on style, culture, and dating. With Not So Chic, she brings that perspective to a more personal format, exploring heartbreak, friendship, identity, and the realities of navigating early adulthood. Blending candid conversations with the signature dry wit audiences know her for, the show offers listeners an intimate, late-night FaceTime-style experience that embraces both the polished and messy sides of life.
As the industry continues to evolve, Podcast Nation is focused on working alongside digitally native creators and their representation to support original content that expands beyond their social platforms. By pairing each creator’s distinct voice and established audience with strategic distribution, monetization, and growth support, the network helps talent expand their reach into new formats and reach new audiences.
“Digital creators are building some of the most engaged audiences today, and we see that as a real opportunity to support them in expanding their IP,” said Libby Absten, Director of Partnerships & Strategic Growth at Podcast Nation. “As the industry continues to evolve, we’ll continue to prioritize partnerships with digital creators who have built their own distinctive brand and communities. Our partnership with UTA and DBA reflects that approach, and Elli is a great example of a creator with a clear point of view and the potential to expand her reach into podcasting while staying true to what her audience connects with most.”
Not So Chic with Elli Freeman is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.\
