community.

were announced.
Exciting New UK Talent
Audioboom's new talent-driven programming includes Sue Perkins:
An Hour or so with... which will make its debut as part of the
Audioboom Originals Network on 10 October 2019. This show sees Sue
Perkins inviting special guests for an intimate chat about their
lives and passions as they strip away formalities and indulge in
some good old-fashioned conversation.
Launching on 31 October 2019 is The Greatest Game with Jamie
Carragher. The Liverpool FC legend interviews some of the biggest
stars from the sport, alongside a collection of famous
non-footballing personalities about their lives, asking each
interviewee about the greatest game they ever played or
witnessed.

As the Company continues to grow within the UK market, it also
announces the promotion of Shaun Wilson to the role of UK Head of
Sales. Shaun Wilson will focus on facilitating opportunities for
major brands to connect with audiences through host endorsed
advertising from the UK's strongest podcasting talent.

"We're so excited to be working on these new shows with both Sue
and Jamie - each show is packed full of engaging entertainment and
I can't wait for people to hear them. We are delighted to have
attracted such high-calibre talent."
