LOS ANGELES, May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- PodcastOne, a
leading podcast platform and a subsidiary of LiveXLive
Media (NASDAQ: LIVX), has partnered with Hyundai to produce
three integrated vodcasts with top PodcastOne talent. The vodcasts
(video podcasts), supporting the National Independent Venue
Association (NIVA) and its continued efforts to #SaveOurStages,
will connect with audiences around the globe to call attention to
and raise funds for NIVA's grant program to help small, independent
venues.
The vodcasts are hosted by Guinness World Record holder for the
Most Downloaded Podcast, New York
Times Best-Selling author, and comedian Adam Carolla and New
York Times Best-Selling authors Keltie Knight, Becca
Tobin, and Jac Vanek of The
LadyGang, an award-winning podcast for women by women. All of the
hosts have a shared passion for supporting independent venues that
have been impacted by the pandemic.
Each vodcast is uniquely themed to align with the hosts'
passions and will feature the all-new Hyundai Tucson. The vodcasts
were recorded at two of the most famous and iconic independent
venues in Los Angeles, the Theatre
at the Ace Hotel and the Whisky A Go Go, and will be shared on
LiveXLive.com.

"We're excited to be partnering with LiveXLive Media and
PodcastOne to help support entertainment venues affected by the
pandemic," said Angela Zepeda, CMO,
Hyundai Motor America. "Similar to how Hyundai questioned
everything to make the 2022 Tucson the most advanced Tucson ever, the vodcast hosts ask some tough
questions in hopes to inspire bold change."
"Partnering with Hyundai on this campaign is an honor for
PodcastOne. Our talent are all performers at heart and
working together to raise money and call attention to the
importance of saving live performance venues is a priority for us.
We thank Hyundai and are thrilled to work with them in their
support of artists around the country," said Kit Gray, President of PodcastOne.
Hyundai and LiveXLive extend their partnership supporting small,
independent venues that started last year when they launched The
Unlocked Sessions powered by Hyundai Elantra, a four-concert
series that was filmed at the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles. The weekly livestream concert
series was created to drive awareness and build support for small
music venues that were closed for most of 2020 due to the global
pandemic.
