AdvertiseCast Announces Exclusive Relationship with “Blind Landing” Podcast Miniseries

Podcast Will Tell “The Untold Story of One of The Biggest Mistakes in Olympic History”

Liberated Syndication Inc. (OTCQB:LSYN) (“Libsyn” or “the Company”), the industry’s leading podcast hosting platform, today announced that AdvertiseCast will be the exclusive advertising sales partner for the upcoming “Blind Landing” podcast miniseries. Under the newly formed partnership, AdvertiseCast is facilitating brand partnerships and advertising for the series, which will tap into fans of Olympic gymnastics.

Hosted by award-winning reporter Ari Saperstein, the podcast tells the story of one epic mistake that ended up derailing the women’s gymnastics competition at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and how its legacy still impacts the gymnasts’ lives and the sport today. Each of the five episodes in the miniseries will focus on one of the womens’ gymnastics competitors at the event. All episodes in the podcast series will be available on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts on July 19th. The launch coincides with the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. Women’s gymnastics, which kicks off on July 24^th, consistently captures the attention of fans as the most watched sport in the summer Olympic games.

“With the lead up to the Tokyo Olympics underway and the popularity of gymnastics as an Olympic sport, podcasting content combining both represents the ultimate opportunity for us. We expect this podcast to leverage that enthusiasm and generate significant interest from both audiences and advertisers,” said AdvertiseCast Chief Revenue Officer, Dave Hanley. “We’re very excited to be the exclusive advertising partner for the “Blind Landing” podcast miniseries.”

The “Blind Landing” agreement will expand AdvertiseCast’s broader sports podcast inventory, leveraging its independent and innovative approach to podcast advertising. The miniseries is expected to resonate with a female-skewing audience of highly-engaged podcast listeners.
