Honoree Distinction Bestowed Upon The Jordan Harbinger Show Podcast for Best Podcast Host, Gals on the Go for Best Lifestyle Podcast and Coffee Convos for Best Lifestyle Podcast

LOS ANGELES, CA - (NewMediaWire) - April 04, 2024 - PodcastOne (NASDAQ: PODC), a leading podcast platform and a subsidiary of LiveOne (NASDAQ: LVO), announced today that its podcast Baby Mamas No Drama has been nominated for Best Lifestyle Podcast in the 28th Annual Webby Awards.

Baby Mamas No Drama, which was chosen as the 2023 Webby Awards People’s Voice winner of Best Lifestyle Podcast, is led by hosts Kail Lowry and Vee Rivera, two hosts who are both part of the cultural phenomenon MTV television show Teen Mom. The duo launched their podcast in 2020 to share their incredible story of working through their initial dislike of each other to come together to co-parent within their blended families. Baby Mamas No Drama is a podcast where listeners can relate to the struggles and challenges of co-parenting while becoming inspired by how the two hosts have turned their failures into winning success. Nothing is off limits as the two ladies discuss a wide range of topics from lifestyle and current events, to buzzy NSFW subjects and pop culture.

“Nominees like Baby Mamas No Drama are setting the standard for innovation and creativity on the Internet,” said Nick Borenstein, General Manager of The Webby Awards. “It is an incredible achievement to be selected among the best from the nearly 13,000 entries we received this year.”

Together they’ve created a show that resonates with audiences and advertisers alike.  We’re thrilled for them to receive the recognition they so richly deserve,” said Kit Gray, President and Co-Founder of PodcastOne.
