– Realm, an audio-first digital media company with a global podcast network featuring over 12M monthly downloads, today announced Unspooled, the popular film podcast hosted by actor and comedian Paul Scheer (Black Monday, The League) and film critic Amy Nicholson (Los Angeles Times), has joined its rapidly growing podcast network. With the exclusive partnership, Realm will represent the show for ad sales and provide robust marketing and production support to scale the show’s reach and increase listener engagement.
Previously at Earwolf, Unspooled’s move to Realm marks an exciting evolution for the series, complete with a revamped theme and fresh artwork to come. Debuting at #1 on iTunes’ Film & TV podcast rankings and #4 on the overall charts, Unspooled has been recognized as “an essential film history podcast” (Hollywood Reporter) and “one of the best podcasts” (Esquire). Since 2018, the show has blended sharp humor and thoughtful critique to dissect cinema’s greatest works with over 340 episodes and counting. From questioning the enduring legacy of classics to spotlighting overlooked gems, Scheer and Nicholson bring a fresh, entertaining perspective to every discussion.
“We’re beyond excited to add Unspooled to the Realm portfolio,” said Sarah Bentley, Realm’s Head of Network. “Paul and Amy have built an amazing community of film lovers who share their passion for deep dives, paired with their own hilarious commentary. They’re exactly the kind of smart, creative partners we love working with at Realm. We specialize in helping exceptional shows like Unspooled reach new heights with top-notch sales, marketing, distribution, and production support, and we can’t wait to see what we can build together.” “Joining Realm feels like stepping into a space that truly understands the value of talent and growth. The team’s commitment to innovation and fostering creativity is inspiring, and I’m excited to contribute to this dynamic vision. Plus, they have great snacks,” said Paul Scheer, co-host of Unspooled.
Unspooled joins Realm’s network of award-winning and top-charting podcasts, which span entertainment, kids & family, and culture & lifestyle categories. Realm’s full-service approach offers development, production, monetization, and strategic marketing services to position shows for success in the growing podcast landscape.
