NEW YORK, August 6, 2025 – Digital media distributor Realm and podcast manager/producer Big IP Talent announced today the expansion of Realm’s content vertical focused on film, TV, tech, and pop-culture podcasts. Realm will manage the show lineup’s distribution, multi-channel monetization, and marketing, and Big IP Talent will continue to acquire new shows and manage their content strategy and audience growth.
The slate includes: Raiders of the Lost Podcast, Bros & Shows, The John Campea Podcast, Dan Murrell, Adam Does Movies, Apple Bitz XL with Brian Tong, The Core: All Things Apple TV+, Movie Files, Sean Chandler Talks About Movies, and Star Wars Explained.
The full lineup of shows is distributed across video and RSS channels, and the majority originated as YouTube channels. Realm’s expertise managing 360 monetization for creators across traditional RSS platforms, YouTube, and social-video platforms positions Realm and Big IP for the evolving all-platform era of podcasting.
“If your podcast isn’t on YouTube, you’re already behind,” said Molly Barton, CEO and Co-Founder of Realm. “Realm has a leading position in entertainment, pop culture and fandom podcasts on traditional audio platforms, and our partnership with Big IP gives us tremendous scale on YouTube.”
Realm’s network of entertainment and pop culture podcasts includes shows like Unspooled, hosted by actor and comedian Paul Scheer and film critic Amy Nicholson, rewatch podcasts like Supernatural Then and Now and Buffering, IGN’s Geek Media podcast network, and Josh Horowitz’s interview podcast, Happy Sad Confused.
“There’s a huge benefit to having a big group of film and TV podcasts all in one place, and Realm is really experienced in this space from the work they’ve done with Netflix, DC, Paramount, Marvel, etc.,” said Scott Porch, Founder and President of Big IP Talent. “Having this great roster of other Realm shows around for support will help us continue adding more creators, expanding audience, and developing new shows.”
Porch, a lawyer and former podcast producer for Starburns Audio and contributing writer for the New York Times, Daily Beast, and Decider, started Big IP Talent in 2022. Big IP Talent will continue to separately manage Pop Apologists (PodcastOne), So Bad It’s Good with Ryan Bailey (Studio71), Moms and Mysteries (Libsyn), and The Brooke Ashley (Amplitude Media Partners).
