Realm Network expands with three fan-favorite true crime podcasts
Realm, the podcast-first digital media network, today announced the addition of three acclaimed shows to its growing slate of true crime podcasts. I Think Not!, Crime Salad, and Moms & Mysteries bring their distinct voices and passionate fanbases to Realm, which will manage distribution and multi-channel monetization for the shows.
Hosted by Broadway best friends Ellyn Marsh and Joey Taranto, I Think Not! offers a hilarious and heartfelt look at the world of true crime TV. From murder and crooked cops to tax evasion and scams, the pair take listeners through real stories and the campy television that covers them, bringing humor, heart, and a bit of Broadway flair to every case.

With this new feature, broadcasters can create, manage, and track their own direct ad campaigns in real time, eliminating intermediaries and maximizing revenue potential.

Australia's Radio Networks Just Made Podcast Buying Easier Than BVOD. Let That Sink In.
Commercial Radio & Audio just launched CRA Audio ID, and if you’re not paying attention to what’s happening in Australia’s digital audio market, you should be. Four major networks—ARN, Nine Audio, Nova Entertainment, and Southern Cross Austereo—unified their inventory into a single cross-network identity solution now trading on Google’s Display & Video 360.
The result? 14.7 million monthly addressable listeners with better scale than both BVOD and ad-supported Spotify combined. While American podcast networks continue fragmenting their sales approaches, Australia’s radio broadcasters just demonstrated what happens when competitors decide collaboration beats market share squabbling.
